Don't waste your time and money on GE. With the advent and growth of Mobile Passport, the value of Global Entry is very small. It's often faster with Mobile Passport because there is no kiosk involved, and while Global Entry does sometimes gain you back a little time on the Customs side of things, the time waiting for/at the GE kiosk takes that perk mostly away.

But, if you don't have precheck, then definitely get that ASAP. And get the Mobile Passport app.
