You get to exp how efficient it is (it really is if you do even a modicum of domestic flying).

Basically, you put your name and info in TSAs system once to prove your not a terrorist and tell them who you are, pay 90 bucks, and, and then dont have to fuck with standing in lines or taking your shoes off for like 5 years.

As long as you've got the right documents in hand, it takes about a week to get finished after a 20 minute appointment.

Global Entry, on the other hand, can take MONTHS to get processed, depending on the airport you're signing up at. Those people in New York who put in the effort to get this done are gonna be nine KINDS of pissed if this becomes An Actual Thing.
