Three times I have unfortunately been labeled a bad Apple and then after an X-ray or the last time a physical hand search of my luggage I am determined to be a good Apple and free to go, still probably faster than without Global Entry but longer than other airports.
The odd part is that at DFW/IAH/JFK/EWR/LAX/MCO I am never questioned nor searched, just MIA.
I have had some minor issues at MIA as well. Both times it was the same CBP agent and it seems that you need to be appropriately deferential (wait for him to acknowledge you and and you to step forward). Never was pulled aside for xray or baggage search though. I am used to other GE custom exit lines where you just walk past and hold up your GE receipt.
