every time I fly back on an international flight to IAH there is a very long line for customs. There are at least 75 customs lanes and never more than 5-7open. It’s like going to Wal Mart.

Do you have global entry?

Go to the MPC line, there are only crew and wheelchair bound people in it. But if you flew internationally more than once a year, you’d know that.

Actually, don’t download the app, stay out of the line with smart people in it.

we probably fly internationally 1-2 times a year so don’t have global entry. but every time we arrive in IAH there is a long line of people and maybe 4-6 of the 75 lanes are open. a lot like wal mart except that they don’t offer self checkout.

when we arrive in Mexico, Costa Rica, etc us seems like they will almost always add more employees to speed things along. I guess that’s just the way it is l

You don’t need global entry to use MPC.

MPC = mobile passport control
put the app on your phone and upload your docs

you’re welcome

They'll never follow the signs, it's hopeless. IAH did make it exciting, a few years back they moved MPC from one side of the entry hall to the other with seemingly no warning, but it's been flawless since. I have run into (LAX and SFO) where MPC is closed in the middle of the day for no reason, but never at IAH.
