This is all just paranoia.

More so Asian feed from beyond Japan, and trying to get CBP PreClearance to handle more than just a quarter of US-bound passengers.

The current announcement is to expand it to cover over 1/3 of US-bound passengers. Some in the USG want to see it in play for not just 1/3 of all U.S.-bound passengers but want it for the vast majority of VWP users because VWP countries' passport users are also seen as rather high "security" risk for the U.S.
