Add in the fact that there are numerous lanes (something like 24 in total that can be going at once) and it helps things out - often it might only be 4 lanes for a terminal, so even though an airport might have 24 lanes total, it's rather spread out rather than funneling into one area.

The fact that it has PreCheck as well is also a significant ^.
