Last time I came into SFO through Global Entry there was no passport scan needed, just a quick look in the camera and it printed my receipt to enter the country.

I've often thought that border control has the best time lapse of me aging

Interesting, how do you activate that flow? I landed at SFO last night and it prompted for me to insert my passport before it'd scan my face / take finger prints

Global Entry is a TSA program you can apply for. The TSA charges a fee of 100 USD and runs an in person interview.

Edit: those under investigation, warrants, or charged with crimes are not elligible. Neither are those with passports from outside major US allies (India Colombia UK Germany Panama Singapore Korea Switzerland Taiwan Mexico Canada)

Global Entry is not a TSA program and it normally requires a physical travel document to use the GE kiosks. Curious that there is now a facial recognition-only kiosk.

Edit: looks like this in MIA? https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/global-e...
