Whether you are sent to Ag seems to depend a lt on which airport you are arriving into and then which terminal. Most of my US arrivals are at EWR. I find I'm waved through most of the time when I tell them what I have at EWR-C. I'm almost always sent to Ag at EWR-B where as soon as they see my card and ask about my circle and hear anything about food they send me over without even letting me finish a sentence.
