I do plan on taking cruises and visitng other countries every so often. My question is this. Everytime I re-enter the US am I going to be flagged and subjected to more baggage searches. I have nothing to hide but it will become annoying.

Is there anything I can do to stop them from flagging my passport?

Thanks
I know others in similar situations and some have had secondaries and some have not. Based on their experiences but without knowing the intimate details of your crime, I would not epect this treatment every time. It may be just that you do not travel outside the US a lot and they used to the opportunity to check things out.
