Sure he swapped the crap out of my laptop and he made me open it and look and I said, "look carefully as our CRA computers are very cleaned and advanced so we can audit better" he just looked at me and I was on my way.
I have always enjoyed messing with these guys. Some are great and I thank them, but most I do become more aggressive or a pain in the butt, but never enough to get into trouble, just not compliant to some of their made-up rules......Like the little girl in YYZ who said, she had to open my rolled coin and look at the coins and I said you roll them back up the way you found them or get your supervisor to roll them for you!
I never turn around for the wand as I always keep an eye on my stuff and when they start yelling instructions I just become deaf!
Part of the reason the security lines move slowly is travelers with an over-inflated opinion of their own importance who enjoy "messing with these guys."
