This is not a new procedure. The first time it happened to me was at least 3 or 4 years ago. I thought that this was a targeted flight (LHR/IAD) and that they didn't want anyone to have the opportunity to get back on the plane to abandon the contraband or somehow otherwise run off the plane through an emergency exit. I was in Row 1 on a 767 so was off the plane right away - IMMEDIATELY the agents started shouting "single file" and the dogs went at it. I don't know if they stopped anyone.

We had it happen on a flight from London to Kennedy in December, there were two customs agents right outside the door to the plane asking everybody to show passports as we were getting off the plane.</font>
I have had this happen several times at different US airports. I never could figure why they bothered to do it.

BTW, these were arrivals from "mainstream European and Asian" cities.
