I've never heard of such a thing.
The one time I came in at SFO there was an officer verifying receipts and customs forms before getting to the baggage carousels. It was a particularly light day though, so I don't know if this is standard, but SFO is the only place where I had to show the receipt twice. I've only used GE at ORD and LAX besides SFO, and at those two airports I only had to show the receipt as I was exiting the customs hall and turning in the receipt to the CBP officer.
