One time when returning from an overseas country, I was in one of two lines: One for foreigners, and one for US citizens. It was quite the line.

After a few minutes, I was pulled aside and whisked through customs. As I was nearing the exit, a staff member said "welcome home".

It hadn't hit me until later that I was likely skipped ahead due to having a military surplus duffel bag.

No particular point here aside from how silly the whole thing is.
