U.S. restarts its Global Entry program at airports

The Department of Homeland Security restarted the Global Entry program on Wednesday, a little over two weeks after it halted the service for travelers because of the partial government shutdown.

- BY JOHN SEEWER

Global Entry allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to use expedited kiosks — for a fee — when entering the United States from abroad, saving them time at airports and other ports of entry.

Homeland Security said the program would be suspended as long as the partial shutdown remained in effect when announcing the move on Feb. 22.
