Yep, he's still a douchebag. "CBP officers are not your friends. CBP officers treat returning U.S. citizens as potential criminal defendants. You should likewise treat them as if they were corrupt cops on a power trip, targeting you to goose their arrest statistics. The best way to protect yourself against their depredations is to refuse to speak to them or to answer their questions." I wonder what he would say if he ran into an equally pedantic border security dude who pointed out that yes he can arbitrarily choose to exercise his rights to remain silent if he feels like it, but border security can also arbitrarily choose to exercise all its rights, including eight hours' detention, thorough searches of his baggage (including confiscation of some items until their legality can be determined) and of course the old body cavity search. In theory, this guy should support them doing that too. After all, if you're legally entitled to do something then nobody else has the right to complain if you choose to exercise that right, right?
