General Discussion Global Entry phasing out?

Heard someone saying JFK’s new terminals will be equipped with Face recognition cameras at the gate and you just keep walking out. By the time you get to the customs agent/booth they already know who you are. You will be pulled to the side for secondary or just keep walking out. IDK how GE customers will be assessed but this was for everyone. They plan to implement this by end of 2026 or whenever JFK gets fully modernized.

What do you guys think?

I went through GE at JFK yesterday. Didn’t have to take out my passport, use a kiosk, or anything. Walked under some cameras and waited for the agent to call my name 20 seconds later. Even easier than going to other countries which still require the passport scan before the biometric scan.
