It sounds like Daniel and Jordan had a 30min lead and got lucky to go through customs so fast. The other teams had no way of catching up because there was a slow down there. So I wonder why there was no reported sightings of Daniel and Jordan , but there was of Catlin/Brent and the cowboys?

Probably because they were first and running alone. One team running around a place won't lead to too much suspicion, however if two teams and seen close to each other, then they are sure to raise suspicion.
And about the customers problem, there was another flight, ANA Airline flight NH8 arriving from Tokyo 2 minutes after the arrivial of the Shanghai flight. Depending on the proximity of the gates to customers and the seats on the plane, the second and thrid teams could have been caught up by people coming off that flight. And in response to Hooky, Flight Attendants can allow passengers to go on to the front of the plane beforehand and I don't believe it's illegal. I actually did it once but that was because I was an uncompanied minor.

Thanks!
I didn't mean to say it was "illegal," I just meant "unfair." The Amazing Race is not supposed to be rigged (although I bet it is in some way every season).
georgiapeach:
They probably just asked, teams do it all the time.
DavidJunior:
believe me
customs can be a nightmare
especially if there are two flights coming in at the same time
theschnauzers:
I find it hard to believe that the producers would have allowed customs processing alone to control the outcome of the Race.
Wouldn't TPTB have held teams at the airport until the teams and camera crews had cleared? This is the major reason why, usually, the Race has gone somewhere else first so teams could be clear of customs processing when they arrive at the final city.
georgiapeach:
I don't think so?? The only times I have heard of everyone being held up is when there is a problem with some of the camera equiptment being held up, otherwise it is just another leveler, like bad taxis. Some teams work the lines better than others.
