The only time I was asked anything like this was some time ago. I had just flown SEL-DTW, after being stationed in Korea for a year in the US Army, and hadn't returned to the US for the whole year.
Customs officer: what are you bringing back with you?
Me: I was stationed in Korea for a year. The Army paid to ship most of my things, except for what is in these bags. Truthfully I'm not sure if anything I bought is here or in the bulk shipment.
Customs officer: (rolls eyes) Go ahead
