I had a three hour wait for re-entry into the US at the "Peace park" 
entry south of Vancouver last summer. I had an ordinary passport. People 
with the passport card could bypass the long line and get through quick. 
  My understanding of this system is that it is not easy to get a card. 
  You need a lot more paperwork and a face to face interview.  However 
it is very worthwhile for those who make frequent crossings--let's say 
they live close to a border and cross it often for work or pleasure.
For me who does it once a year or less it isn't worth the bother.
