Global Entry, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency’s biometric screening initiative, expands to 13 new airports.
Through Global Entry, travelers that are pre-approved and considered low-risk are able to expedite their customs process when arriving in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano explains, “Global Entry expedites the customs and security process for trusted air travelers while helping DHS ensure the safety of all airline passengers. Expanding this vital program allows us to improve customer service at airports and concentrate our resources on higher-risk travelers.”
