This isn't common knowledge amongst travellers, but if you have travelled to the US at least once since 2008 and have a valid ESTA, you can use automated passport control like the US citizens now - saves a ton of time and from having to queue up in the longer line.

If the airport staff there actually knows about the rule. Too often you are just sent to the back of the regular line before being given the chance of using the machine.

(And it does not allow for entering on visa.)
