Flew back from LHR last week into LAX UA immigration. Scans the passport, looks at the screen, looks down at the declaration form form, looks at the screen as though startled, looks down at the form, up at the screen, & then stamps the form (with I thought was the normal stamp but evidently not).

Even though I knew I hadn't broken any laws & answered the questions correctly on the form, this is the first time I had that happen (the multiple glancing at the screen) & I'm thinking holey, moley, did I do something wrong? Innocent but feeling guilty!

But then didn't think too much about it as I assumed it was the regular stamp on the form (going from memory here, but I think it was a round oval twirly like w/ the date in red in the middle). Collect luggage & head to exit. Give the form to the guy, he looks at it & puts a big A on it, and then directs me to the agriculture line where they asked if I had any food & then put my tote, laptop & roll-aboard through the x-ray machine. Comes out the other side & I'm good to go.

In all my years of traveling the only time I've had to go through agriculture was when the beagle at ORD sniffed out the apple I had in my tote from the Berlin Hilton that I had forgotten to eat.

This was a quick 3-day biz trip. I just wondered - do they do random agriculture inspections - ie, every 5th person's passport gets a message saying check? What was on the screen? Again, it didn't really delay me, but made me curious.

Cheers.
