Stamping US passport....?

I've noticed since my last 4 trips (2001, 2003, 2004 & 2007) back to the US ( live outside of US), that they no longer stamp our US passports upon entrance. They just pass it through a machine (computer?) like a card swiper. Anyone know why? Thanks.
Additional Details
the port of entry was always SFO.

There is no requirement to stamp the passports of US citizens upon entry into the US. However, if you would like to have your passport stamped, you can always ask the CBP officer to do so.

It simply depends upon which port you enter through. As long as your arrival information is recorded in the US computer system, the stamp is really not necessary; foreign national passports are still stamped.

Hello Dear
It truly depends on your port of Entry..Almost everytime I travel MY US passport is stamped upon arrival in the USA..it is scanned and stamped.This practice have become more common after September 11..I dont know why but it has been the case.So it all depends on the port of entry and the immigration official you get
Best of Luck Hun!
