35,000+ DTV users times two entries a year, times 5 years, equals 350,000 posts of a nothing burger over the next 5 years.

I feel this is unproductive negativity, and as a DTV holder I'm comforted anytime one of my fellow DTV holders get into the country without any problems at immigration. It makes me worry less

how about we only hear about the flip side, when someone has been denied entry.

What's unproductive is a gazillion posts stating my entry was uneventful.

It's not that entry was uneventful, successful entry is a highly important event to report on and good for the community to know each and every situation. Personally, I want to know each and every person's experience denied and accepted all have high value for me
