Crossed a bit back, got sent to secondary for the first time ever. Guy in the booth stares and pauses after responses from me, stares some more. " Where were you"? Me: Penasco. How long were you there? Me: " About 10 years" Incredulos response !! 10 Years!! Walks around the van shaking his head. Stares at me some more. Guy put a note on the windshield wrapped around my passport and directed me to pull over. Inspection done in 20 minutes or so while I wait inside. All is friendly and efficient. I leave and the passport and note are still on the windhield. Open the note, was a reason for referral checklist form. Reason was handwritten in: Kept eating his hamburger, looked shaky.

This guys's approach was such that if he was a clerk in a store you would say he was rude. Given he had authority you just smile and bear it , or keep eating your hamburger.

The tell here was that it was an official form but the inspctors ignored it completely. Think they had the guy's number?

You read it wrong. It said: "Kept eating hamburger. Looked shady." :p

I wondered why they had changed the barriers and such on Sunday coming back across - basically everyone had to cross through the first stall of secondary, where two nice CBP gals with machine guns were keeping tabs on everyone. There seemed to be a heightened presence all the way around.

It all makes sense now. They were trying to capture the notorious Hamburglar! :D
Fooled 'em again, eh Roberto?

I would say that you were rude by not having the decency to put the hamburger down while you two were communicating. Store clerk or a person of authority you should be respectful enough not to have your mouth filled with food while talking. But that's just me.
