No disagreement there. In my OP, there was no mention if a crime. My question us very simple and narrow.
Once the immigration officer stamps me in, have I been admitted. I know that my luggage has not been cleared and is still subject to search.
If my passport is nit stamped, there is a possibility, for argument's sake, that I and my documents might not have been inspected by the immigration officer.
Nope. Looking at passports, opening luggage and all of that stuff is administrative process established by CBP (and its predecessor agencies INS and Customs). CBP could stand there and wiave everybody through without looking at passports & luggage and you would still have been inspected / admitted to the US, as the case may be.
