"X" could occur for lots of reasons: (1)a customs quest. answered "yes" [you go to an agent and explain the "yes" (exceeded duty free allowance, say)], (2)random event--which
should be rare, (3)fingerprint issue, (4)your inbound flight does not have you on the manifest--just a few items which could cause an "X", but not (necessarily) secondary.
[When I went to my first GE interview, the agent noted that I should have a copy of the paper form filled out (as a back-up); then go to the first available agent.]
But, as I asked in an earlier post, why would they approve someone and then have them "X"ed everytime?
