I got the A at LAX TBIT the last time, returrning on SQ SIN-NRT-LAX, only having visited Singapore and Japan. I marked yes to food on my form and wrote in "chocolates only" as I usually do. After first standing in line almost an hour for the exit, they sent me to the ag X-ray line, which was almost another hour.

Then the woman official there got upset with me because I said something when some guy not in any sort of a uniform started to grab my belongings after they had been cleared. She tried to insist that I apologize to him and I said that when I see some stranger who doesn't look like an official try to touch my stuff at, for example, an airport security station, I certainly will say something.

Not fun at all. Fortunately I didn't pick a tight connection.
