Trusted traveler Programs on the Rise

Growth in trusted traveler programs comes as a similar, privately run program, Registered Traveler, folded last year after its largest operator, CLEAR, lost money and government support. The initiative has three components for the public: Global Entry for international arrivals; Nexus for USA-Canada border crossing; and Sentri for USA-Mexico borders. Trusted traveler programs have grown steadily in recent years despite skeptics who worry about surrendering personal information for machine-dependent processes run by the government.USA Today Article
