Great to hear but why they left the world's busiest airport off the list of airports that handle this seems to be another government error  among all the others

 

Is Atlanta International airport the busiest?
 
 
Hartsfield-Jackson International has once again been declared the world's busiest airport, according to an official ranking. The Atlanta airport with 93.7 million passengers passing through in 2022 had more traffic than any other airport in the world, according to industry group Airports Council International World.Apr 5, 2023

There seem to be a few glaring omissions.  The absence of JFK, EWR, SFO, DFW and others kind of jumps out at you too.  I would assume they will be added "soon".

Possibly because Delta seems to generate the most phone calls to CBP regarding whether to board LPRs.

Great news, thank you for sharing @top_secret

 

I'm a GE member and really enjoy it for the most part.

 

Not sure I'd use their app though. The benefit is not so small compared to granting access to my phone.

 

The permissions are not too bad (no access to files, phone book etc). I just don't understand why it needs "full network access".

While I understand the benefit of including the busiest airport, I can also understand CBP's concern of including it at this stage. The app is new, may have security issues or bugs. In a larger volume of travellers, it's easier to miss one bad actor misusing this new technology and skipping proper check. Or if 300 people start having an issue and complain to CBP they cannot use the app...

 

Once the app shows it's effective, it'll get rolled out everywhere.
