Ran into something new at SFO today.. The really important, feel good, flashlight using blue shirt felt he needed to rip my passport out of its cover to determine that it was real.. I have not encounter this at any other airports, or other international departures..
If I did not know any better, I would be tempting to ask what kind of education they have in document fraud..
Fairly common. I've seen this about a half-dozen times
