Same with CBP types... I cross the US border fairly often.. like maybe 12 times/year. While I am not nervous about it, my heart rate probably DOES increase a few points.

I was about to return from Portugal last week when I heard a new rule for 'devices." ( Weird word, isn't it) I did stop to think for a minute or two.. "Do I have a problem." No I didn't, but. Just that the thought would even cross my mind in these "uncertain, troubled times." LOL

BW, if you travel overseas a bit. DO, Do get GLOBAL ENTRY..I went through US customs in about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The 1 minute part because on one of the Kiosks that scans passports and fingerprints, the fingerprint gizmo didn't work. :&gt
