A second reasonable case is when entering US feom abroad. Passport check at Ohare is slooooooow, so I always make an effort to get there before most others. I usually don't care about exiting plane early, but I do care about maximizing the time spent drinking beer in a lounge, compared to standing in line.

I often fly from Europe to Houston via Chicago, and how early I get out of the transatlantic flight can mean up to 90 minutes less queuing.

Guessing you’re not American. Having Global Entry makes O’Hare a breeze. Usually through passport control in 2-3 minutes.

Correct. I don't qualify for global entry, but i do have a TWIC which allows me TSA Prescreened as a known traveler, at least.

Yeah I’ve seen them short change the number of officers in the non-American lines, it’s just stupid. And they haven’t moved to digital processing of foreigners like London does.
