I have been a member of GE since late 2010. Received my first X this week. As far as I can tell I did nothing wrong. I had been travelling for about 33 solid hours and was a little slow working the kiosk. But otherwise there was nothing in my answers or travel that would raise a flag. I had stayed in the Kruger NP area of South Africa.
Went to immigration line. Was asked where I was travelling from, purpose of the trip and did I have any animal and agricultural products (I had been in a rural/wild animal area for my travels and the question was pertinent) after asking about my trip to Kruger. Given a stamp on the GE receipt and on my way. Took less than a minute,
My guess is it was either triggered by my slow time at the kiosk or just a random check. Not worried about it as even if they did a full baggage inspection I had nothing that would have raised any issues.
