So an actual questioning checkpoint after the TDC. I suspect this procedure will be a monumental failure and result in many, many innocent travelers being sent to the "third station" where who knows what happens to you.
Escalated retaliatory screening now has a formalized process?
Is it me, or does this sound like it's going to be modeled after the passport control stations on international arrivals? Questions like where did you come from, where are you going, where are you staying, what did you do, did you meet anyone, etc. In that case, I'm hosed, given my 95% hit rate on border secondaries (
one actually said that they knew I wasn't a threat, there was an open secondary line, and I was just there long enough for them to look busy).
So TSA gets the badge idea from LEOs, and the questioning booth from CBP?
