We arrived in Brisbane last evening on a 300+ passenger aircraft. After the obligatory mile walk to customs and immigration I was stunned to find the entire process automated, with machines reviewing our passports, an automated photo, and that was that. The luggage arrived within five minutes. All of the officers (there must have been 20 or more) were polite and helpful.
We were in our car within 15 minutes of walking off the plane. Why can’t we do that here??? (This was much faster than Global Entry with far fewer chances for error.)
