Agent escorted me then to a holding area where another agent scrutinized my PP AND THEN X-rayed my bag. Then I was left to leave. I asked but they would not say
Has anyone lose experienced this? Shed light on it? Thanks
This happened to me the first year of my GE membership. In my case, I was told that it was a random inspection to check compliance. My bags were x-rayed and then opened and checked by a CBP officer while another plain clothes officer stood with a clipboard. After the inspection, I was thanked for my cooperation and I was free to go. I have not had another "X" in the 6 years since that incident. I wouldn't worry too much about the inspection.
