probably in a van on his way to Alligator Alcatraz. Internet service must be pretty good down there?

Could it be ANOTHER big orange thumb-down, and a link, with nothing to contribute, no comment, or additional information? Not one scintilla of thought?

Why is it that "view from the wing" is so consistently wrong? Must not be a very good view.

This hard-charging reporting blames CBT efficiency on the size of genitalia. There's some intellectual insight, right there. Thanks for contributing nothing, again!

I seldom have issues with CBP at airports. Homeland security TSA antics continue to amuse, at times (where "random" is hardly random), but entry into the country, generally not a problem. The few cases that are egregious are more the exception than the rule.

Sonic, under his own lofty counsel, lives the constitution as ratified. In righteous accordance with a strict literal interpretation thereof. The irony is that while everyone knows what the framers ‘really’ intended, no one wants to hear opposing views from any other source.
Fwiw, repetitive flaccid thumbs. Considered by some therapists a troubling subconscious metaphor.

Agreed. I've been through CBP countless times over the years at busy airports such as MIA, LAX, DFW, etc., and I've maybe encountered a few CBP agents who seem to be having a bad day, but even those few have simply frowned or been deadpan, asked a question or two, and waved me through.

Actually, LAX CBP is the absolute worst experience of my entire career. I can't stand those guys. It's the only place I have ever asked to speak to a supervisor. And as you can imagine, that didn't help.

I have had some pretty bad experiences with CBP at West Palm Beach when I was flying part 135. 121 never had anything more than a cursory glance before being waved through.

Flew Part 135 and took an Army King Air over the Atlantic and around Europe twice. The winners of the a-hole border agent award goes to Bangor Maine CBP.
