This question is for US passport holders only: have any of you been asked political questions at the airport by CBP when returning to the states from abroad? I got grilled last time about what I thought of the president and other issues while they were searching my stuff. Just wondering if something similar happened to anyone else.

If you visit a shithole AND one that's an enemy of the US, they're trying to get at if you're involved in terrorism and seditious activity

If you have trump derangement syndrome, stay in your shithole and don't come back.

They didn't even look at my passport when I arrived in LAX. They only scanned my face at a kiosk and cleared me for entry. Evidently all airlines are now required to preregister every passenger's data and photo prior to arrival in the USA. The days of being hassled and searched on entry to the US are long gone for me. Hasn't happened since 2020, and that was only after I talked back to some plainclothes agents with awful tattoos.

I am sure you did anon, in your head.

I've only left the US once, and no they didn't ask me any questions at LAX, just look at passport and waved me off. The strange part was earlier, when departing they fast-tracked me and a few other people, didn't have to take shoes off. Just metal objects into the xray and that's it.

>>2896978
No. But I've been grilled by the Stasi at Schipol and by the Raging Cunts of Canada.

Seriously, an entire mob of interrogators surrounded me at Schipol just to ensure that a middle-aged white guy heading to a wedding wasn't secretly planning to overthrow Holland's government or something. I guess they felt that it was safe to question an American, whereas if they questioned some keffiyah-wearing Islamic terrorist they might be called racist.

And Canada's border agents are as obnoxious as possible toward Americans just because they're a bunch of cunts. Seriously fuck Canada, I hope the entire country gets buried under a giant pile of Indian shit.

Should i have taken off my hijab too dumbass? They not only grilled me about my politics, i they pulled out all the stops tailing me for years afterwards. I must not have answered "right"

>2020
Interesting

>>2896978
I'm a beaner. If the CBP is also a beaner, it's 100% guaranteed they're going to bust my balls. Asking me like two dozen questions. Doesn't matter that I'm dressed nice and clean shaven or the fact that I have no criminal record (not even a traffic ticket)

Damn sounds like America sucks and you don't belong there and should fuck off back to whatever lovely shit hole your family escaped from, you entitled parasite.

Did you say anything against the regime?
Did you say bad things about our orange leader?

I know right
It's kind of funny really. Like the libtards have for years been telling us "just don't say the forbidden words, chud or have the forbidden opinions chud or question Dr Fauci chud" and now they are being told "don't criticise the orange man or the state of Israel that he really really loves too much" and they are acting like there's a problem with freeze peach. Like they weren't enthusiastically cheering on the chilling of discussion for years!
But then you can't spell libtard without tard.

I never even had to empty my pockets on this last flight out of Bangkok, let alone take off my shoes. Only had to pull my laptop out of my bag for transfer security in Taipei. It's been so long since a terrorism that airports are getting careless and prioritizing quick passage over intensive scrutiny.

Another mentally ill maniac with delusions of being so important that he believes government is spending millions to track and surveil him personally through a network of gangstalkers.

I was coming back from Colombia on Delta airlines, the first trip on my new passport. Two plainclothes agents stopped everyone in the deboarding chute and made them show documents before being allowed to enter the airport. They were mega assholes, reading my personal diary out loud to each other and stuff.
>>2897117
They haven't inspected my stuff since 2020 either, even when I entered overland from Mexico. It's like I got put on a DHS Trusted Traveler list after years of being wrongfully placed on the Yellow Alert list with my old passport thanks to a travel history of exclusively Mexican border excursions. Man did I get the third degree and the extensive search every time I entered from Mexico between 2016 and 2020.

It was under the last two presidencies. Nobody told me why. I assume because i argued about politics with the wrong person (i'm not red or blue aligned)

>>2897514
Jannies do it for free. So does the neighborhood watch and infraguard. What exactly do you think happens when you get put on a list? It's the equivalent of your neighbors and the local PD getting to read not only your personal diary but your text and phone call highlight reel every day. I hope it never happens to anyone in this thread, jannies included.

let them read the stupid cat memes i send to roasties. who cares.

>>2897600
They add to it and try to get whoever you're talking to to participate. I won't talk any more about it bro. Just hope and pray that it never happens to you or anyone you care about. Go on r/gangstalking and read it through the lens that the "schizos" are either astroturfing deniability merchants or the victims that couldn't handle the insane amount of pressure they put on you. They try to drive a wedge between you and your family/friends, your god, your sense of self, anything they can take away from you. The goal is your suicide or imprisonment bro. They don't fuck around. Go photocopy your diary and leave a stack of them out in the street and see how many people grab a copy and you'll realize how many will mob up on someone for free just because they can get away with it. Doesn't matter if they like you or know it's bullshit. Theyre like vultures.
