I was in the foreigner's line - however the US line was even longer, stretching down to the gates!
Do you think things will calm down or will it be like this for the forseable future?

Yea, but the US citizen/resident line moves about 10 times as fast. One trick I use when entering a foreign country where I'm nobody is to stand on the foreigner line closest to the first citizen/resident line. When the citizen/resident line clears up, sometimes agents will start taking people from the foreigner lines, and of course, will do so from the closest one to them.
