My experiences vary quite a bit.  HKG often has exceedingly long 
lines.  Canada and New Zealand seem to be the most suspicious, always 
presuming that I intend to overstay and illegally settle there, for 
some reason.  They always want to see a complete itinerary, demand if 
I have any friends in the country, etc.  Very tiresome.  LHR can be a 
nightmare, with very, very long lines.  Once with an agent it's 
always quick and easy, but getting there has taken multiple hours.
