Formal checkpoints, yes. A cluster of agents standing in the jetway and pulling people aside as they board the plane - not uncommon.

- jki275 8y agoIn the US? I've traveled internationally almost continually for the last six years or so and have never seen that or any outbound customs checking.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoI've seen that as a TSA thing, on a domestic flight. It was on the first flight in the morning, so the airline wasn't trying to do a quick turnaround. It also only covered the people standing in line... so I sat there, waited for my boarding group to go, and followed behind them.
- trevyn 8y agoWait, what? You were approached by a CBP officer while taking a domestic flight? Which airport?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoThat was a TSA thing -- they were TSA officers. Las Vegas. And I didn't get approached -- I wasn't lined up, as described.
- grkvlt 8y agoyep, i've been pulled aside on the jetway while boarding a british airways flight to the usa, to have my carry-on searched. this was in heathrow, so not sure who the particular security agent worked for. none of my phones or electronics were turned on or checked, though...
- jki275 8y agoDefinitely inbound to the USA, that happens all the time with additional screening to meet US requirements. Talking about outbound though.
- URSpider94 8y agoInteresting. Flying out of SFO, I’ve seen it several times over the past few years, also logging a good dozen overseas flights per year ...
