CLE is the same way tho', it's an awful place for the experienced traveller to clear customs. 1 Int'l flight and a couple of charters a day makes for INS and Customs agents who do their job to the letter.

Interesting, isn't it, that we are complaining about INS agents who stick to the letter of the law? I just read that one of the flying schools received letters on 3/11 from the INS about the visa status of two of their students. The students in question were the ones who flew the planes into the WTC on 9/11. Way to be on the ball, huh?
