I'm Puerto Rican.

I never been asked for credentials while on the island and never on my way back from SJU or the virgin islands etc. It's always in the Jetway at JFK while I am headed onto the plane and not off the plane.

The last time it happened which was on a trip in December my mom started to freak out. The guy when he saw I was with my mom actually had another agent there were 4 in total question her. This was a surprise trip for my mom so she was unable to answer 99% of the questions that he asked her such as how did I pay for the tickets etc.

I am trying to think of the wierdest questiosn they've asked me.

They have asked the dumbest of things too, once I was asked and it wasn't in this order but it was in the same breath, I was asked if I had packed any "deoderant, guns, bombs, cologne, toothpaste, toothbrush, poison" into my carryon. I remember asking him to repeat himself and he did but with out the guns and bombs part.
