We were on the same flight to Newark. I hope you made it home safely. One of the empty seats was in the row where we were sitting which gave us room to spread out a bit. Immigration was a breeze with virtually no lines and going through customs after getting our baggage the agent asked what we had in the cooler(we brought a cooler of some frozen home cooked food)? When the wife told him "no Problem we had a six pack of toilet paper, a can of tuna fish, a can of ravioli and a can of backed beans he laughed and waved us through. We didn't lie.
