I agree with you completely and I had no idea what a CBP was until I googled it. I obviously have never been through one. There is a good primer on https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail ... der-patrol which discusses the legal authority of the Border Patrol so I guess it has gone through the courts and is legal.Abraham wrote:"I have had them also ask me my destination, and whether anyone else was in the car with me."
These kind of questions annoy the heck out of me.
I'm an American citizen and as long as I'm not breaking any laws, it's none of their business who my passenger may be and where I'm going.

Of course, there should be no consequences, but given some of these BP guys have their own insupportable attitudes towards demeaning American citizens, there probably would be...
This kind of thing is a pet peeve.
If I'm not breaking any laws, (and they're not chasing some recent law breaker, just pestering me and others....) LE has no business interrogating me.
