Anyone have a Nexus card?
 

I know a lot of people here travel quite a bit back and forth from Canada to the States for shows, any of you get a Nexus card yet?

I applied in January and finally go for my for my interview next week, seems they do a pretty extensive background check. I hate the idea of voluntarily having my fingerprints in the system, but it's the price to pay to not wait in long ass line ups!

Those that have the card, is it well worth it? Is the background check all that intrusive?

Every time I drive or fly to the states I'm always envious of those that breeze through the Nexus lane.

I got my Nexus fairly recently ... I haven't flown with it, I got it more for driving across the border, but I'm finding for driving it isn't as useful as I thought. Some of the border crossings don't have Nexus lanes so you still end up in the same huge lineups with 20 questions when you get to the guard. As far as the background checks, in my case there isn't much to see anyways ... the interview was mostly basic questions (address, employment, etc.) and warnings about not bringing things across the border without declaring them ... it might be totally different for someone with something on their criminal record or other red flags though. Overall I'd say I'd still go for it again for the times here and there that I can skip the long lines. Maybe someone who has flown with theirs can give their two cents :2 cents:
