After ~100 trips through the US border I think I’ve had an arsey officer maybe a handful of times. They sometimes are suspicious of an answer to a standard question and get into a bit of a rabbit hole regardless of how many times you’ve visited.

I once had the third degree because the officer thought that me saying “I’m visiting my team” basically meant I owned a company in the US and I needed a visa I didn’t have. Just stay calm and answer the questions and misunderstandings are easily sorted.

Anyone who thinks US immigration give you a tough time, should try getting in or out of Israel. Those guys really take security seriously.
