I've had some bad CBP experiences as well. However, that has nothing to do with the fact that showing ID serves an entirely different function when entering into the U.S. than at a domestic ID checkpoint. There are bad CBP officers, just as there are bad police and bad TSOs. LEOs aren't immune from abusing their authority or the Constitution.

Also I made a mental note to not apply as a paralegal under you. (That is provided I stay on that path the way college is looking right now.
That's okay -- I only hire paralegals with experience.

By the way, I like your sig.
