A warrantless search that’s a cronjob? Seems that for some people, if the tech is simple then that’s ok! To me, that’s still a rights violation whether it’s a cronjob or not.

Is it a rights violation? When you sign up for Global Entry it's pretty clear that criminal history will disqualify you. That's kind of the entire point of the program (pre-clearance to validate a low risk).

The fact that they just repeat the same background check you do when you apply, doesn't seem out of place.

What is being searched here? The fourth amendment only applies to your property and possessions.
