SLC Airport is super-efficient. It ranks top or near the top consistently for minimal flight cancellations and delays and not only does it have short lines for security for those flying out of the airport but it's a similar story for international arrivals. If your flight landing at SLC is direct then, of course, it will take a little while to get processed but if you have already connected elsewhere in the US and been processed by the TSA it should be a breeze. For those connecting at SLC with an onward journey you have less need to panic and rush than at most major airports.
