for example, they have asked me. whats your job? where do you work? where are you staying? who do you know here? when was the last time you were in your home country? how long will you be staying?
if you have been asked questions by border patrol, immigration, customs, please add them to the list.

The longest look/stare I ever got was going to Moscow on an American passport in '82. They sent a customs guy (KGB) to make friends with me and take me out for drinks to show me how Scandinavian girls used to shake it in their hotels w. discos for foreigners, he even turned up again when I left! He bought the drinks, I gave him a pair of old Levis.

on one of my returns from mexico in the 70's the border patrol asked me where was i from.. when i answered "little rock, arkansas" he said "you sure are" and waved me on thru.
that has always been good for a laugh.

i was carrying across to the us. if you have something on you, stand right behind someone in the que, and put your bag right by theirs. for me, the sniffer dog appproached from the rear, then sat facing the old lady in front of me (THE SIGNAL) she was promptly escorted by security off somewhere, and i carried on.
lol
