any SENTRI experts out there?

We just came back last month in the same situation and our first time after getting the car approved and driving it. 

No hassles.  I fully expected to get the inspection the first time coming back, but nope.  Took less than 30 seconds, except for th 80 minutes it took to get to the booth.  We crossed at Otay and traffic was backed up for miles getting into the SENTRI lane.  It was a Tuesday at 9:00AM.  I don't think it's normally that bad, but will be doing San Ysidro next time.  I also found a site that has live feed video cameras of the crossings.  It charges a month $1 fee so I'll wait until we go next time. 

Just remember to roll down all the windows on the booth side and take off your sunglasses.

Thanks for the info James. If you have the website link that shows the  Baja border video feed handy, please post it.

Thanks again

Ready pass! I'm confused.  I understand that the ready lane allows you to get back into the U.S. quicker. And this requires i.d. with an RFID chip. I've read that our passports now contain an RFID chip. But I read that to use the ready lanes you need a "passport card" with an RFID. So the RFID in the passport is not enough!? And what is a passport "card" and where do you get one?

I guess this is the right place to ask this.

Thanks,
