I am a regular border crosser, and I find the best way to get through quickly is to bore the absolute s@!% out of them by giving them every mundane detail of my trip.
Ex.
Guard:
"What is the purpose of your visit?"
Me:
"Well, I'm on my way to Seattle for the Mariners game. We'll probably stop on the way for a quick bite to eat, maybe at the casino buffet, not sure though. I would like to stop in for a couple spins at the roulette wheel, but I don't know if we'll have time. I also want to stop and check out a new BBQ, probably stop at a couple different places. My old one finally stopped working, too bad, I loved that thing. Then we'll head to the stadium early, I have a place I like to park but you have to get there about two hours before the game to get a spot. Probably just hang out there and get a hot dog, if I'm not too full from the buffet. blah, blah, blah, etc., etc.
They usually cut me off after about 30 seconds and wave me through with no other questions, hahaha.
