These customs anecdotes are a dime a dozen. I've had a customs official arguing with another official because he wanted to 'nail me to the wall' for no particular reason AND I'M A GOD DAMN US CITIZEN.

Customs officials are given a wide amount of powers, and little to no oversight. At this point, I feel like a US customs official could rape an entire squad of 13 year old cheerleaders live on air over the public airwaves and receive a tax break for the trouble. </bitter>

The fact they act on a whim is beyond dodge.
