Yes, the officer specifically said I-94, probably for immigration not customs, like you said, arrival/departure records. The flight attendants were still handling them out for visitors. He was saying that if the GE kiosks were all down and I hadn't filled out one I would be waiting at the back of the lines for the regular lines instead of the GE lines. Trying to teach me a lesson I guess, and with that attitude he was showing, I probably wouldn't be able to fill that out on the spot anyway. YMMV?
