You do get to stand in the arrival line at POA for Citizens in most airports and SFO is one of them ;)

Pay $100 for the Global Entry program (per person), and you get to use the machines, which is much quicker. And on the off-chance the machine tells you to visit an immigration officer, you get to jump to the front of the queue.

Once you've signed up for the program, it lasts for 5 years I believe.

I went through Dublin pre clearance recently and forgot it was USA border control. We looked at each other blankly for a while when I handed over my UK passport, until he said where is the other half... ie Green Card. Oh how we laughed...once the GC was presented.
