AFAIK AC has/does always require one to claim their baggage before proceeding through Canada Connections. WS 1755 did
not require a claim and re-drop. Hence the interest in what's going on.
Unless someone else knows something, this is the first time a person returning to Canada can exit Canada Customs hall without all of their possessions in hand? (exc. items shipped separately) Sounds like a new pilot for flights from select US-YYZ/YVR?
We know how US CBP does it: BIWIS. But that's self-contained within a pre-clearance facility. And I doubt there's any system in SNA to use "remotely" even if they figured out a way. Curious as to what process Customs is testing.... CBSA sending an agent to the opposite end of the terminal to pull someone from a flight after X-ray of baggage? Asking security in domestic to intercede?
As to using AC Connections, the polite AC staff saying, "Keep going" suggested one shouldn't use it.
I could have said I was headed to Brioche Doree to push it, but kept following the family to the elevator. Worked out fine - the little guy consumed a Booster Juice in the 7 minutes before A/B security despite Mum telling him he'd have to throw it away.
P.S. Officer interview was conducted on the right/Int'l side of the hall halfway towards the main inspection desk. 2 officers dedicated to WS 1755 at a temporary booth. From what I saw everyone else was headed to their normal points for interview.
