Custom Horrors

Submitted by snprook on Tue, 08/04/2009 at 7:56pm.

Custom agents hate me.

     Every time I try to go through customs I am somehow profiled for searching.  On the return from a trip to Jamaica I had to wait while my bag underwent a extensive search by drug searchers (they found nothing).  I then had to open up two other bags and let other officials rummage through those bags (they again found nothing).  Also I randomly tripped a metal sensor twice, then walked through the same sensor, without removing anything, and didn't set it off.  The wand they carry never found what set it off the first two times.  All of this on the same trip, in the same airport, and at the same customs.  This is the worst of my experiences, but more shall surely follow, as I just have to write them down.

I want comments.
