She went through standard TSA searches - scans, pat downs, and explosive chemical swabbing. (I travel twice a month and have TSA-Pre and I still have to go through that 1/3 of the time). She was then questioned about the nature of her travels. Upon return she was questioned about her travels, the contents of a CD she had, why she tried to open up a bank account abroad, and where the thousands of dollars she left with went. I don't think it was unreasonable for border patrol to be suspicious. Their job is to investigate suspicious behavior and from their perspective they don't know whether the woman was telling the truth or not, but the facts of the matter do raise suspicion. I would be a bit more worried if they didn't ask all of those questions and investigate the issue, why else are we paying them? |

Why are we paying them? Their "service" is, at best, inconvenient, and certainly unconstitutional.
The issue is not that this individual was inconvenienced.
The issue is that the constitution of the United States is being thoroughly disobeyed by the federal government of the United States.
