CBP $5k SENTRI Fines: CBP is still fining travelers

CBP continues to fine non-SENTRI pass holders caught in the SENTRI lane.  The fine remains $5k.  At times, CBP has not required non-SENTRI pass holders to pay a portion of that amount on the day of the incident.  Non-SENTRI pass holders, however,  should not assume they are clear of liability if that happens.  Unless you contest the fine within 60 days, it will convert into a full $5,000 penalty.
