Trust

I have two more days of background checks to be completed before I know if I get my Trusted Traveler/Global Entry status from DHS. Should I worry? Well....... Things started rough in the interview when I had to explain why my income doesn't match their idea of someone who has traveled as much as I do. I think I overcame that one to the interviewing agent's satisfaction.

Middle of interview was fine. Then we get to the end and final question, "Have you ever been arrested, detained, handcuffed or fingerprinted?" I had to answer yes. Two years ago I was fingerprinted by Harbor Police at the San Diego airport as I had mistakenly left ammunition on my carry on bag and it was detected at screening. Everyone was cool and I boarded the plane on time and just fine.

But it was still an "incident", and the agent said it might prohibit my enrollment in the program and I'd lose my $100 application fee. My interview was the 2nd, so I should know by the 12th.............. if DHS trusts me or not.
