Customs has instituted a new program called the Global Entry System, Trusted Traveler Program. If you do international travel, you might want to consider participating.

Go to the web site: https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/pkmslogout

Fill out the survey, pay $100, schedule and attend an interview, and you are good to go.

KEYWORDS: goes; passport
I joined in November 2009. On July 9th I arrived at Boston Logan from London. From the time I stepped of the plane until I was through Passport Control/Customs was 4 minutes 32 seconds (I timed it).

The lines at passport control looked to be 20-30 minutes long, but I went to the Kiosk, swipped my passport answered the questiones and got my receipt. Went to Customs entered the Global Entry Line (no one in it) and handed my reciept. I was legally back in the USA in record time.

This was the 3rd time I used it and attest that it is well worth the effort, especially if you just use carry on.
