Yupp. This is not new. I've seen it at MCO more than once.

A kinda sorta similar thing happens here at PIT. With this, people can now take larger bags with them when they clear Customs onto the tram and exit the airport, as opposed to before, all bags had to go thru TSA security screening for liquids, contraband, etc., so, larger bags had to be rechecked, then pax had to wait a second time at the regular baggage carousel for their bags, which could take a while, as the bags weren't carted to baggage claim til they had a full load.
