2 CBT agents met AA71 from Frankfurt today. They was one of the first few off the plane and they were just glancing at the passports. Seemed to focus more on non-US passports.
In that case, they were obviously looking for a person or for persons carrying a passport other than US. All they have to do is glance at the photo to make sure it matches and not even look at the name since they know the person(s) they want will not be carrying US Passport(s). With the other passports, they have to look at the name, too.

And, its CBP, by the way.
