Mind you, as I was about half way to the immigration desks, the queue was about double what it had been when I arrived. For those who know IAD, all the way up on the mezzanine level.
Warm welcome to the capital of the US.
On the upside, bagage was waiting next to the carrousel by the time I got through immigration.

Was also one of the first in the queue off LH418 a couple of weeks ago,and timed it to 65 minutes, so 50 minutes quicker!
However once at the desk it went very fast, one question and a photo. No more fingerprints, but I didn't stay to find out why.
