I can't remember a time when I haven't been pulled aside for the bag sweep/inspwction. They say it is random. It can't be.

The CBP Officer at LAX who briefly snapped and threatened to put me in handcuffs was a fiftysomething African-American officer, whose name I caught.
Today I just happened to google his name and LAX CBP. I like to gather intel on these guys, they know everything about me. Maybe I'll run into him again. I fly into LAX again from Russia in early November.
It turns out that 12 years ago, an African-American officer working at same airport with same last name, about same age, shot an unarmed man in head when he was off duty. Some college kids were making noise outside his apartment and went out in his pajamas with his service weapon and confronted them. He apparently said "You don't want to fuck with a cop do you?" and pistol whipped one of them and shot one in the head and killed him. Then he walked back into his apartment.

He was indicted by a grand jury and tried for murder but was found not guilty because the judge believed the gun must have discharged "accidentally."
I wish I had googled his name when I was in the restroom, this would have been great info to have and to mention at some point during the attempted interrogation.
Maybe next time.

If you get the chance, you might ask whether he thinks a white cop would have gotten off as lightly without riots erupting everywhere. After all there are fine people in all circles.gavinmac wrote:The CBP Officer at LAX who briefly snapped and threatened to put me in handcuffs was a fiftysomething African-American officer whose name I caught.

This reminds me of John Oliver's recent bit on the border control:
"The screening process wasn't as strict as normal, with polygraph tests only introduced late in the surge. Roughly half of applicants had already cleared "the highest level of background check" before the lie detector revealed numerous issues – including, in select cases, connections to criminal cartels – that made them unfit to serve. From there, the level of corruption and misconduct among border agents "skyrocketed," Oliver noted". (Rolling Stone)
