Even if flights aren't cut, TSA and related staff are. I've heard rumors of 4 hour security lines at IAH.
Maybe better to get rid of some of the security theater that we also like to scrutinize with good reason.
I timed my time from plane door to train in Taiwan: 24 minutes. To be fair I was hustling and had no checked bag. Automated immigration gate, walk through customs without being stopped, straight to the train. The train comes every 10-15 minutes so I also got lucky boarding right before the doors closed. My time from plane to home was about an hour and a half.
