You may not have been convicted, but your MULTIPLE arrests seem to indicate a pattern. Also, convictions have a much higher threshold of guilt required than what CBP has to abide by.

While I agree with Spiff in general about "open borders" for US citizens, I can't fault CBP for labeling you as not meeting their "trusted traveler" determination.
I can fault CBP for these outcomes and blowing smoke and putting up mirrors to use against free US citizens. The DHS/TSA/CBP "trusted traveler" nonsense is Orwellian Animal Farmesque; and it is also Kafkaesque to boot.
