This type of thing happens all of the time, and not just with border police. Ever been to the DMV? Even the slightest hint of "sass" will earn you a few extra hours of waiting and counter hopping. Bureaucrats are A: given a lot of power in arbitrary situation B: deal with an unruly public every day and are tired of it. Fair or not, it's best to be ultra polite with any public facing government offical. And yes I realize this is also about Homeland Security having overreach but this guy did himself no favors and would have suffered in many other situations acting the same way.
