I have not noticed any difference in treatment arriving at USA by myself or travelling with others.
But does anyone care?
My personal experience from US customs pre/after 11.9. is that they wave everyone to proceed and just take a glance at the white coupon. I assume they're working smarter, not harder; they probably do a profilation of arriving passengers based on the information they get from airlines and stop those they profile as potential smugglers. And they really don't bother stopping odd low-risk passengers like us.
