m A bit more sources. I know it's from the CBP, but I still believe that self-referencing sources meet the criteria. |

The '''Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection''' ('''SENTRI''') provides expedited [[U.S. Customs and Border Protection]] (CBP) processing, at the [[U.S.-Mexico border]], of pre-approved travelers considered low-risk. Voluntarily applicants must undergo a thorough background check against criminal, customs, immigration, law enforcement, and terrorist databases; a 10-fingerprint law enforcement check; and a personal interview with a CBP Officer. The total enrollment fee is $122.50, and SENTRI status is valid for 5 years.
Once the applicant is approved, they are issued a Radio Frequency Identification ([[RFID]]) card identifying their status in the CBP database when arriving at U.S. land and sea ports of entry (POE). SENTRI users have access to dedicated lanes into the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/frequent_traveler/sentri/sentri.xml |title= Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) |website= CBP.gov |date= November 1, 2006 }}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-01 |title=Benefits of SENTRI {{!}} U.S. Customs and Border Protection |url=https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/sentri/benefits-sentri |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=www.cbp.gov |language=en}}</ref> Unlike [[NEXUS]], which is a joint program between United States and Canadian immigration authorities, SENTRI is solely a CBP program and only applies to customs and

{{Advert section|date=December 2015}}
[[File:Otay Mesa With Signs.jpg|thumb|350px|SENTRI lane at Otay Mesa in 1997]]
SENTRI was conceived in 1995. A team of representatives from the [[Immigration and Naturalization Service]] (INS), [[U.S. Customs Service]], and five other Federal stakeholder agencies was formed and established a technical concept, engineering design, and relevant policies. The first SENTRI lane was deployed at the [[Otay Mesa Port of Entry]] in [[San Diego, California]], where the concept and design
In 1998, the decision was made to expand SENTRI to [[El Paso, Texas]]. The aim was to relieve congestion at the busy [[Paso del Norte International Bridge]]. However, this bridge was not wide enough to set aside one lane as a dedicated commuter lane. Therefore, the nearby Stanton Street bridge, which had been a southbound-only bridge, was chosen as the best place to deploy SENTRI. A new port of entry facility was built, and the SENTRI lane opened in September 1999.<ref>{{cite news|title=Commuter Lane Opens on Bridge|work= [[El Paso Times]] |date= September 8, 1999|page=1}}</ref>

US citizens may use their SENTRI membership at [[US Customs and Border Protection]] [[Global Entry]] kiosks located in participating US airports. Mexican nationals who are SENTRI members may apply for [[Global Entry]] after passing a risk assessment conducted by the Mexican government.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/trusted_traveler/nexus_prog/ge_kiosks.xml|website=CBP.gov|title=Global Entry Kiosks|access-date=2011-04-10|archive-date=2011-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027021548/http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/trusted_traveler/nexus_prog/ge_kiosks.xml|url-status=dead}}</ref>
== TSA PreCheck ==
{{main|Transportation Security Administration}}
US citizens who are SENTRI members may use TSA PreCheck on all participating airlines by entering their [[U.S. Customs and Border Protection|Customs and Border Protection]] ID number or PASS ID/KTN (Known Traveler Number) from their SENTRI card into their flight reservation information or into their frequent flyer account. The same privileges extend to NEXUS and Global Entry members. Note that such Trusted Travelers have a very high probability of receiving PreCheck, it is not guaranteed: TSA still uses random procedures for all passengers.{{fact|date=April 2021}} This said, Global Entry participants have the absolute highest priority/likelihood for receiving PreCheck (per CBP documents, including a note that it’s included—not “may” receive—with GE).{{fact|date=April 2021}}
