I'm a US citizen and I'm not checking any bags. Your advice will be much appreciated!
No problem at all. Immigration clearance is much faster than bag service - you will be through quickly. You might have a 15 minute or so delay getting back through security, but with 2.5 hours, you'll have plenty of time for a few drinks!
