Seems like immigration and customs are blurring the line of who does what. Recently in DTW the immigration guy, while waiting to give me back my passport, asks if I have any alcohol or tobacco with me. I used to think this was the customs question to ask. I must have answered "no" correctly
and was sent on my way.
