I'm much more willing to resist the obedience conditioning by CBP than by TSA: (1) I'm returning to my home country, usually no plane to catch, (2) the immediate "security" issue is even more bogus, and (3) other than a customs inspection, which should be satisfied by certain questions on the written form, and a search of baggage, there is no legal basis for any delay, once my identity is established.
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.
