I must be on some list; I am always taken to secondary, usually harassed about some BS from 20 years ago and then released. I have even been threatened and intimidated. I am always compliant, I answer questions etc...
Now that Ii have been reading up on my rights and liberties etc.. I don’t think I want to answer any more questions but I don’t know what the CBP's limitations are. Any ideas?
I was detained for 9 hours, interrogated, screamed at, good cop/bad cop routine, lied to, short of water boarding! I said "I am not making any statements" and that's all they ever heard from me!
