So, three confrontations in about 5 years.

No artful deception (or artful concealment) intended. I should have been more precise. I have been threatened with arrest 5 times in 6 trips to the USA over the past six years:
2003: KOA
2004: SJU
2006: DCA
2007: BOS
2008: none
2009: IAD
Every time, I tell them to go ahead and arrest me. If they ask "DY...T?", I tell them yes, but not as much as I want to protect my rights.
