I got the "A" when I asked them not to stamp my passport in MCO since it is filling up quickly. The guy was convinced I was a drug mule at that point and didn't believe that I only had $20 on me. They searched my bag for drugs and cash, though the secondary agent laughed when I explained why it happened and it was more of a cursory check than anything worrisome.

Had this a couple times; nothing more than a quick glance or question.
