I didn't think OP was winging but describing the facts. Plus I would be taken aback too if I got off a plane happy to be home to then be escorted into a room by the military (which I find surprising by the way).
If news reports are to be believed, the escorts are now done because some unescorted pax lost their way and wound up on a domestic flight to their home city instead. 100% compliance is hard to assure except by the steps now taken, voluntary compliance seems to be 90% at best, and that has created massive problems in most countries.
