i don't nomally post in this forum due to the controversy created and the ugly things i heard but i feel compelled to point out the incident being related is not the only one to happen in recent days.

Such events are normally meant to eb rare occurance, not the norm.
The analyis is that with the new secretary of DHS being confirmed, with the obama administration directing full disclosure, either the us customs and border protection agency have a lot of time on their hands or that they are trying to bump up their statistics to allow them to operate without disclosure. It could obviouly be a misunderstanding or fault of the passengers but more than 1 incident in recent weeks indicate some sort of pattern.
