You can make an easy online FOIA request for all of your entry/exit and primary/secondary inspection records, they will black out a lot of the info, including the officers' names, but it might say "Passenger corporate666 was referred to secondary inspection by Officer (redacted) due to evasive answers to primary inspection questions" or something like that.

I once sent a letter complaining about CBP officers wrongfully seizing my anti-American propaganda from North Korea. I just sent it right to the airport's Port Director rather than following the procedure of making a request to Washington DC. It must have worked, they Fedexed me back my books and newspapers and postcards about three days later.
