There are revised food inspection/control rules that take place that most GE members wouldn't know. Even someone who monitors government for a profession may miss out on changes that have been instituted.

As someone who declares food on more trips than not --always declared as required -- I am sent to Ag inspection fewer than 5% of the times when I've declared food at a US port of entry. And as a GE user, my rate of getting sent to Ag is somewhat lower than when entering as an APC user.
