I'm on standby with Club Mobay.

I flew in and out for a quick weekend visit 5/17-5/20. I only bring carry on but I don't think I was in the airport for more than 20 minutes once I got off the plane. Very fast. I went to a kiosk in the hallway, got my photo taken and slip, then was ushered to an e-gate instead of an immigration officer. That process was lightning quick. The only people that I saw get held up were those who did not fill out the online customs form prior to landing. I have no idea how they even got on their flight because I was checked at my departure gate in Detroit and then again at my connector gate in Orlando to assure I had filled it out. Only wait I had in Mo Bay was then at customs in the nothing to declare line. Stood there for about ten minutes until it was my turn.
