I don't see how this will speed up the process if you are checking a bag. Even though you have your bag tags, you still have to stand in line to hand over your bag to the agent. Maybe if you are not checking a bag.
Just glad that MSP now has Clear and with TSA Precheck, things move quite quickly now.
