And as having GE membership is not a grant of immunity from being questioned in passing or even extensively interrogated at port of entry, GE members too should expect to experience some CBP back and forth questioning at times — including at times possibly even jerked with or for more extensive questioning than most others would typically experience (even when and where CBP has sometimes been asking all GE members to play the old school question and answer game rather than count on any machine use by the presenting GE members).

In many ways, the best way to deal with the potential and realization of being jerked by a jerk official at a port of entry is to do as when facing a bully anywhere in life.

I respectfully disagree that punching these jerks in the nose might not end up being the "best way" to deal with port of entry jerk officials especially when the said jerks are in uniform and equipped with firearms and handcuffs.
