Honestly, to me, Miami is really getting to be a pretty user friendly airport. Looking forward to that free wifi also!!

Maybe I do not understand the self scanner/app kiosks but how do they know that the passport entered (or app scanned) belongs to that traveler? I don't consider Waiting for an agent to direct you to a terminal as a security check...
...and I have never held anything over my head after the GE form is printed. I just hand it to the agent collecting the forms and move on...sounds like GE will be pointless soon.
...and sorry for hijacking the thread

The self scanner kiosks take a PICTURE of you, as you insert your passport. Often the scanner won't accept the picture though and you have to stand in line. In December, the scanner accepted my photo but not Eric's, so we had to stand in the "x" line.

Sorry, we all went off on a tangent!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />
It could be tight, yes, depending on how many other planes come in and whether your plane is late, and if you have checked bags. If you don't have checked bags, it should be a breeze. The last couple of times we have come through Miami, we have gotten through security quickly, but had to wait for bags.

With no checked bags, I think you should be fine, unless your inbound flight is late. Those kinds of things, you can't really plan for.

I think we will give it a shot
I guess the worst that happens is we spend the night in Miami! The hotel at the airport is ok. small rooms but clean. You may have to take baggage to room if you do not make connecting. The bar just behind reception is nice. They will take meal orders there. Have done before on late arrival.
