The guy should have just pulled down his mask for a second.
Sounds like the CBP overreacted too.

Sometimes we forget....
In the "Border Zone" all conventional rules are off.
Not a great place to be asserting "rights" that are not exactly the same as those away from the zone.
Yeah, sounds like a classic standoff on both sides.
But, betting your Sentri pass against an "attitude" is a lose/lose proposition.

I think that even if this guy gets his SENTRI pass re-instated, he probably will have his name on a list that could mark him for special attention in
the future.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

If CBP has a policy that agents must wear mask when interacting with customers, then the agent should be fired for not following policy, and
complaining when customer pointed out that the agent was in the wrong.
In most work environments, not following rules for PPE use is grounds for firing.
In most work environments, all employees are required to say something when they see improper use of PPE or unsafe acts.
Woke!

Personal Preventative equipment,
it is NOT
Personal Protective equipment
it is.
Protection is quantifiable for something real that will hurt you immediately
Prevention is quantitative and time is the only determinant if it prevented anything

Hopefully goat will mouth off to CBP one day, and they take him into secondary and slap him around a little.

Next time you interact with CBP, remind them of the following excerpts from their mission statement:
We serve the American people with vigilance,
integrity, and professionalism.
Integrity is our cornerstone. We are guided by the highest ethical and moral principles. Our actions bring honor to ourselves and our agency.
Woke!

Next time you interact with CBP...…

it"

It’s a sorry situation when tax dollar parasites make their own rules according to their current mood.

I try to remember to take off my sunglasses whenever I need to interact with someone, and you want to get things right the first try. That goes for
north, and south of the border.
Even when I was "the good guy" as a ski patroller responding to an injury or skier down report, it was so much easier to communicate, and calm the
patient when I took my sunglasses off!

The agents are trained to "read you" for deception, so mannerisms and eye contact are part of the deal. I arrive at the booth with my dark glasses off
and my passport in hand. 90% of my crossings are quick and easy without secondary inspection.

If I was rolling up to a booth with a mask on, I'd ask the agent if he/she wanted me to take it off.
Someone refusing an order from a border agent to remove their mask deserves what they get. Agent's descretion to revoke SENTRI. His superiors
will back his decision.
I seriously wonder what people are thinking in a situation like this.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I guess the driver was thinking about his own health. The agent was a m.oron to stand closer than 6ft without a mask. If 6ft distancing wasn't
possible he at least should've put the mask on. Talking loud or yelling at the driver shows how really dumb he is because fine droplets spread farther
then.
But the driver will be the one to suffer the consequences, losing his Sentri. Hopefully that idiot didn't infect him.

Wow pretty have a heavy handed opinion about CBP. I'm on the side of the border agent. Driver described as over weight and diabetic, and, in
what I read, had an attitude. Driver is going to explain virus protocol to the agent? Wrong thing to do.
Opinions are good. Everyone has one. Border agents don't take shlt. Driver was told to remove mask. Driver refused. Driver lost
SENTRI. End of stupid story.

You republicans say you don’t like government over-reach, But You always support the jack booted thugs in uniform without question. You are such
hypocrites.
