I am surprised they would tell you anything about putting you "in the system" or thinking you were lying as both in my view would be no-no's given you were admitted for the purpose you stated.

I answered every question truthfully and this guy was convinced that I was lying and there on business. He pulled a background check with my social security number.
After about 20 minutes he comes back from the backroom and says, "I still think you are lying to me and here on business, but i'll give you your three days. I am going to put some information in your file though so you will be scrutinized every time you come through now." I can't remember the last time i've been so rattled. I didn't think they were going to let me in. I mean i'm here on a rewards ticket on a Friday. I've been here twice before on business and declared it so. Why would I lie about it this time? Do I have any redress options to clear the record?
