Oh yes, I opted to purchase the Global Entry scheme a few years ago. It didn't cost that much compared to the "cost" of huge delays in immigration. I think it cost me $100USD and £40 for the security check. It's a brilliant scheme and saves a tonne of time going through security. A colleague (different nationality) went ballistic at the fact I purchased it myself. He was ranting (a regular occurrence unfortunately) that the company should have paid for every one blah blah. I pointed out that his nationality is excluded from the scheme.
