I'm trying to figure out what the suspicion could have been... an Audi A4 isn't exactly an uncommon car in Southern California. Granted, it didn't have California plates (Washington State plates, as the driver had recently moved back home from Seattle), but that shouldn't be reason to suspect.

Perhaps they were more in shock that there were more than one occupant in a car on a Southern California Freeway.

Anyway, back on track.. yeah, the other Pax complained and received nothing more than a canned reply defending CBP's actions. He then complained to his congresscritters, but never heard back from either one.
