Potatolicious, believe me, if I had the power to fix this, I'd do it. But as an American whose blood pressure regularly rises when re-entering my native country, only to be questioned for my loyalty by the lowest common denominator, I have absolutely no say in this matter. For what it's worth, CBP has always been cock-ups. I returned from Japan in 1988 once and that guy was a cast-iron jerk. I swear they consider every American who travels to be a traitor. To be honest, though? Since Homeland Security, CBP has actually gotten more professional. I know it's hard to believe, but in my experience, it's true. (Of course, I'm older now and presumably less scary for Customs now that I have kids, so perhaps a single data point is insufficient.)
