I agree. Sorry, I meant to start my CBP question as a new thread. Didn't mean to hijack this one.

It surprises me that it seems that a lot of people resist TSA screening and refuse to play the name game, etc. but everyone more or less acts like sheep with CBP and submits to their intensive interrogations.
