On the entry I had posted above, I was sent to Agri because of the response on my landing card.
I believe the CBP officer sent me to Agri for a valid reason, but once at Agri there was really no follow-up; just an x-ray of my luggage.
To me it seems like there was a disconnect between the CBP officer that sent me to Agri with valid reason and the lack of any follow-up at Agri. With no actual follow-up at Agri, why even send me there in the first place?
