I don't know whether UA offers ITI at ORD, but even if it does, you must still go through U S. Immigration and Customs. Both your person and any carry-on baggage would be subject to inspection.
Where ITI is offered, it simply obviates the need to claim and re-check your
checked baggage at your U S. airport of entry.
