I always check no, too. The only time I ever declared was when I had a live rabbit in a cage. She was only about 4 weeks old, and she was as tiny as could be. I went to declare her along with all of the documents I knew were required. They looked at her in the cage, asked what she was ("Umm.... a rabbit."), and waved me through without ever looking at any documents.
In high school, during the mad cow scare, I did get stopped on the way back from France. My friend had an undeclared sausage in her bag and was ticketed for a $50 fine. Otherwise, I've never gotten in any trouble when they find something. They usually just tsk at my dad and throw away his Cuban cigars if they find them. In general though, they never stop me and really don't care if there is anything, anyway.
