According to a report from Business Travel News, the United States Department of Homeland Security has proposed to make its test Global Entry kiosk program permanent in 2010. The program was launched in June 2008 and has expanded to 20 U.S. airports, including international hubs in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York.
Travelers can pay a $100 enrollment fee to participate in the Global Entry program, which uses touchscreen kiosks and biometric identification technology to expedite the customs and security process for international travelers.
The DHS' proposal to make the program permanent is now under a public comment period until Jan. 19, the report says.
