I am being a bit obtuse by reason of your refusal to admit that just because you are a citizen of that country, you automatically should be waved through.
If you think about it this way, there is no perfect right to re-admissibility to your own country. They could just detain you if they found out you were lying on the form, this is the reason why they have secondary, and herein the reason why they can charge and jail you if they find out the crime is serious enough.
Maybe CBSAguy here can shed some more light on this.
Sanosuke!
