The camera/picture thing happened to me, which is why my picture on the ID is horrible. CBP officer said to look to my left, and a second later said that the picture had been taken. I asked to look at it, but she said it was fine. Not so much...
On the lack of privacy, I had mine at ORD and echo the comment above that there was a separate waiting area, but just a bunch of desks/open cubicles in back. Not a ton of privacy, but I was the only one being interviewed at the time.
