This is one of the funniest threads I've ever read!!!
(Un)fortunately most of my immigration questions have been relatively straight forward!
The only time I can remember when it was a little different was when fingerprinting was about to start at US immigration. The machines were introduced 1-2 weeks before fingerprinting actually became mandatory. The immigration officer asked me if he could finger print me and I said no (was really late for a a connection). His only response to that was had it been next week it would have been mandatory. I just smiled and said I know. Luckily I didn't get hassled!
