Speaking of customs mess up, last week, going through MIA, Mrs. FlyMeToTheLooneyBin got the dreaded X. Some of the customs people said they've never seen it before and didn't know what to do, so they waved her through standard customs processing (with no line cutting), while I bypassed everything. I had to wait 45 minutes for her to come out! GE didn't work for us that time.
