Went through on 5 Sep 14, no sign of anything happening then. Just the usual row of 54 desks, 10 or so of which were manned by CBP Agents doing the Immigration thing.
That said, we were through the Border in 9 minutes from getting off the mobile lounge, so no complaints.* It helps being in CW, and knowing where to go at each part of the process, of course.
*On chocks at very remote stand 1235, on the bus and moving 1245, reached Arrivals Building 1255, through Border 1304, and kerbside 1315.
