[quote] The traveler’s accusations are blatantly false and sensationalized,” CBP officials said in a statement to CNN affiliate WMUR. “CBP officers acted in accordance with established protocols. Upon arrival at the port of entry, the traveler was appropriately referred to secondary inspection –[b] a routine, lawful process that occurs daily and can apply for any traveler[/b].”[/quote]

It’s a random stop. I’m as white as can be and had the secondary inspection flagged a few years ago. It’s like the random TSA flag. Not everything is drama. [/quote]

When you had your secondary inspection, were you detained for several hours? Were you handcuffed and led to a cell? Were your belongings confiscated? Did the officers ask for your smart phone and password?

It was about an hour, they did ask for phone and passwords. Wasn’t handcuffed, but I didn’t act like an ass. I guarantee this guy did. [/quote]

What kind of questions did they ask you, out of curiosity? Did they explain why they picked you? Did they hold you in a cell? Just want to be prepared since I travel overseas several times a year…[/quote]

[b]How long we were in Canada, what was the purpose of the trip, did we buy or sell anything, etc.[/b] They said it was a random flag. Not a cell, but was in a building. [/quote]

I drove back from Canada this past weekend and they asked me those questions from my car window, and it took less than 3 minutes. They ask everyone those questions at the border. What else did they ask you in your hour-long stop?[/quote]

Before that your license plate has been read and your ID entered in to the system.  Most likely you have been run through facial recognition software. They track everything.

Now that DEI is gone they can just profile based on race and political sympathies or country with vague ties. Like if a US citizen can trace your family to Lebanon. The Israelis are occupying Lebanon. [/quote]
