So while we got needlessly sent to secondary I got to observe how the uniformed officers of Canada treat others, and wow, it makes TSA look actually good. One man is being helped with an interpreter (Spanish), and another lady gets called up. Her case is relatively simple, she just cannot bring meat. However, the officer doesn't speak any Spanish. So they "borrow" the other interpreter for a few sentences (as in have the interpreter translate a few phrases from 10 feet away). Then he goes about chatting to another agent who is going to replace him about how the lady is upset she cannot bring the meat in, and making fun of her for that (I presume she cannot understand English, so actually doesn't understand they are making fun of her). That's just rude and unprofessional, and I cannot imagine any way that would be justified.

(of course, with the caveat I've not had issues with US immigration, being a citizen, so don't know how they treat non-citizens)
