We get special lines that move pretty quickly. It's a relatively boring but painless process if you're a US citizen. I did accidentally bring an apple with me the last time I went through customs, which added an additional 15 minutes waiting in an additional line to get approval to throw it away before boarding the plane.

This was on the way back from Israel though, so I was very aware of how much easier re-entry into the US was than going to Israel.

But as a US citizen, I have no idea what visitors have to go through.

We do, but US citizens that haven't dealt with US customs have even less understanding of what foreigners will experience when entering the US.
