Frequent Travelers Global Entry Program

If you’re a frequent traveler,
you may consider applying to the Global Entry program, which cuts down wait times in airport border security checkpoints. But watch out! BBB.org/ScamTracker has received reports about misleading websites that fool people into handing over money and sensitive personal information. Cited: Look Out for Misleading Sites:

Frequent Travelers Global Entry Program
Global Entry is 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. Members enter the United States through automatic kiosks at select airports.

At airports, program members proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingerprints on the scanner for fingerprint verification and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.

Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program.
All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment.

While Global Entry’s goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may still be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program’s terms and conditions will result in the appropriate enforcement action and termination of the traveler’s membership privileges.

This is the story of one perfect beach:

The beach nobody can touch
'Made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach.'
There are hundreds of pristine white-sand beaches along the coast of Thailand,
but one tiny bay, almost hidden by limestone cliffs, has obsessed the world.

For years, people would come in staggering numbers hoping to step into "paradise".
One day last year, it was shut down. Authorities say they are committed to re-opening the perfect beach when they know what the true capacity of the beach is – that is how many people can sustainably visit on a daily basis. The BBC team/crew was given permission to visit the beach: Article.
Proof of how dire a situation has to get before action will be taken:

The beach nobody can touch

About 50-60 blacktip reef sharks started visiting the bay early each morning. The shallow waters are ideal for them and three of the female sharks chose Maya Bay to give birth to their babies. Dr Thon calls them "the coolest creature in the sea" and this, for him, is a gift.
