Get a NEXUS card. Then you can go through the machine.
Seriously, though, it doesn't matter what country you go to, the customs officer can screw with you if he's having a bad day. Except Canada. We don't give a shit here.
I was in Boston a few weeks ago. On my way there, the US customs asked me "Do you have relatives from Lebanon?" I said yep. He said, "Have a nice trip."
And I agree. Those angry black ladies at security can get on your nerves. One of my shoes always sets off the metal detector and they wave their wand and then assume it is from something in the shoe, so they tell me to keep walking. But one angry overweight black lady in Calgary made me take them off and x-ray them. And she waved the wand on my socked feet.
And in Denver, two teenage security officers started playing with my umbrella. But because it is automatic, when she opened it, she couldn't figure out how close it. So she told the guy to close it, and they started arguing with each other. You close it, no you close it, no you opened it, you close it.
In Egypt, they wanted to search us, and we said no. And then he had the nerve to ask for a tip.
