The governments of the Cayman Islands and the US have agreed that US citizens traveling to Grand Cayman via Miami will be pre-screened at MIA before boarding the plane, see the link below.
When the pre-screened visitors arrive at GCM they will skip the long immigration lines and go straight to baggage claim and Customs. The new process is expected to save a lot of time and frustration for US visitors arriving on GC.
The new program will first be piloted with Cayman Air flights out of MIA but they are already talking to American Air and other airlines about expanding the program.
I've always disliked MIA but this new program could make travel through Miami to Cayman a bit more attractive - because I really, really hate the long, incoming immigration lines at GCM!
