it happened to me also in ATL. On my way out from baggage claim, I was selected for a “ random “ survey. The officer was very pleasant. Followed him to side belts, opened my bigger suitcase that had some store bought coffee and chocolates. He briefly browsed through it, asked a couple of questions like address and zip code , then asked me to close the bag and exit. He was very polite the whole time. When you’re going to get taxed or fine on items, they let you know on the spot, right?
