It’s the first time I recall that question coming up when entering the US.
My travel history:
2005: US (enter SFO)
2006: Japan, UK, US (enter JFK and YYZ), Canada
2007: Hong Kong, Singapore, EU (enter Germany), US (enter BOS)
2008: US (enter LAX and YVR), Canada, EU (enter Spain), Singapore, Japan
2009: US (enter LAX), UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan
The “affordability/money” question has only come up at LHR last year and JFK this year.
Heavens... we're all in danger now... Someone made it through with a water bottle. Surely this must have caused a terminal dump?
Not before my MQ flight to BWI got stuck in the take off queue for an hour.
