Checking Passports Upon Deplaning in US?

UA896 arrived in Chicago today, only about 30 minutes late, but exiting the plane took forever because the TSA was checking each passenger's passport at the exit of the jetway. This was my third international arrival since the Christmas Day incident and the first time I've seen this "added security".

Anyone seen this before or know why it's being done?
