As a US citizen, my encounters with the TSA and other agencies have also caused me a great deal of pause to say the least. For example, I have been living on a tourist visa in Mexico, and after being treated like a presumed drug mule each time I crossed to pick up mail, I now avoid crossing the border unless it is 100% required. The last time I tried to fly somewhere I was accosted by an agent and interrogated, forced to give my employer's number. I am pretty sure that cost me that contract. I think it was because I was tired and started to get angry about three questions in. My experience with the IRS has been worse. They behaved the way I assume a loan shark would.
