Usually takes CBP about 1-2 hours to figure out I'm 5 foot 5 in. and white

This is after 2 agents swearing they would get a clearance on my/our file

Now it's just expected so I don't get upset anymore unless I REALLY have to pee

Those knotheads don't allow that


File a DHS TRIP report (www.dhs.gov/dhs-trip).

That's what I did, and it took about a month to be removed from the secondary list. I haven't gotten my letter yet, stating why I was put on the list (but I know why), but last week I got a letter letting me know that it was being investigated.

DHS-TRIP is available for foreign citizens as well as U.S. citizens. There's a surprisingly user-friendly explanation of how to do it on the site linked above. If you're investigated and cleared, you will receive a Redress Number which you can use for U.S.-based flights and provide to the border guards.

After my Canadian wife married this American we went to secondary every time we crossed until 2 years latter when she got her US Permanent Resident card.

Maybe our border officers think that maple leaf on her passport is a marijuana leaf, eh?
