In my case, I got a cross on the printout from the APC kiosk, went to see the CBP officer who stamped my passport then asked another CBP officer to take me to blue waiting room. A few minutes later my travel companion joined me there. Another few minutes later another CBP officer took us for a "friendly chat" (their words) to another room. This chat was around our last trip to Egypt - why, when - for some reason they could see we've flown directly from CAI. Not sure whether it was a one-off or a new regular welcome. 20-30 minutes later we were escorted to the arrivals.
