If you’re a frequent traveler, you’ve undoubtedly had the near-universal experience of enduring a TSA security line or an immigration line upon re-entry to your home country.

What if you could bypass these lines for good?

You may have heard of Global Entry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.

Pack items that are in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in checked baggage….

Any liquid, aerosol, gel, cream or paste that alarms during screening will require additional screening.
