Global Entry doesn't entitle you to 'skipping' any security lines. It accelerates the customs process, but one still ends up handing one's documents over to customs officers for a (usually) quick review, just as everyone else does.
The biggest perk for Global Entry (besides getting a known traveler number for Pre-Check eligibility) is that the process of filling out the customs paperwork is faster and more automated, and that the ratio of travelers : customs officers is lower.
- maxerickson 10y agoGetting to use a line with a lower ratio of travelers to customs officers is exactly what someone means when they talk about skipping a line. If they meant skipping the customs checks they probably would have said checks rather than line.
