I try to look at it from the perspective of Customs, they are working in that little area all day and really don't perform any useful function besides trying to keep cheap Chinese trinkets from destroying America. Well, they may have missed the boat there and in many other areas, but at least they are still getting paid to show up for work. So that is a little victory in itself.

What's left? Screw with pilots.

The communist officials in China treat us far better.

It is much easier to play the game as they have set the rules-just fill out the form, answer the questions however inane and give it the yes sir, no sir three bags full sir. If they asked you if you bought anything despite looking directly at your signed statement that says you have not, just tell them you only rented.

In the mean time, leave it to the pros to keep america drug free, and free from illegal immigration and cheap Chinese crap.
Tell them what a great job they have done.
