Global Entry is an expedited screening arrangement for persons coming into the U.S. from an overseas country. It basically pre-screens or does a background check on an applying member for potential red flags. This involves examining whether they have a criminal record in order to decide whether or not, now or in the future, the applicant might pose a threat to the country.
Global entry comes with a TSA PreCheck; hence if you are flying internationally, you can use your American Airlines known traveler number, air France TSA PreCheck, or JetBlue redress number, among many other Global entry programs from participating airlines.
A Global Entry interview happens at an enrollment center which you will find in major international airports globally. It involves some biometrics and a physical interview with a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer but once approved, you, too, can use a KTN number on your next flight.
