Most CBP officers don't seem to care, at least at US points of arrival. At YVR as a US citizen I got a quick question on the number of bags I checked.
Every departure using GE through YUL US preclearance has involved at least a few questions, and regardless of whether or not the GE photo is good they want to eyeball my boarding pass and passport in addition to the receipt).
(One time the officer turned his screen to me and asked me to verify that a bag was mine [photo on screen]. I guess that's a product of the automated baggage system for the transborder gates at YUL!).
