It's worth adding that IB pad their schedules quite substantially in order to claim an excellent on-time record. So under normal circumstances you'll be off the plane as scheduled, if not before.

And the doors don't usually close promptly on US flights when there are lots of passengers struggling to get through secondary security...

IB wouldn't risk paying out EU261 compensation by selling "too short" connections.
