Got quizzed on everything about my trip, had to produce return tickets, proof of Global Entry - like the good old days of US immigration. Not sure if they’re extra cautious at SAN, if this was a one off, or I just looked extra dodgy.
Or simply USA paranoia. Avoid unless you have to go in my opinion. If ever a country makes an innocent feel like criminal I would suggest it's the ironically named "land of the free"!
