Yeah, I had just gone through customs the day before, and it took more than an hour for me. I think this was the result of introducing new automated checkpoints that were incredibly slow for some reason; whatever the reason, I wasn't surprised at how long it took. On board, I was in 1A close to the FAs, and overheard them talking about it; apparently they had some fruit and stuff for lunch that customs confiscated, so they must have gotten pulled off for hassling.. err.. additional inspection.
