• Global Entry, a two-year pilot program run by the U.S. Customs and Border Control, helps you breeze through arrival security check points, eliminating the dreaded customs line that typically weaves itself around international arrivals terminals.

Hoping to make the program a permanent feature by the end of the year, U.S. Customs says Global Entry helps separate out low-risk travelers allowing them to focus more resources on those travelers who might be considered a risk.
