This is what I did. I got Global Entry which made my entry easier than I have ever had it. I did turn off my IPAD that I carry and put it away. I removed all social media apps from my phone and turned it off. I removed my history, etc. I also removed facial recognition to open phone. Lots of articles with recommendations of what to do.

My Global Entry interview was also easy but I’m a senior white woman I know it is easier for me
