I have to agree with the US customs agents being rude and brash. While traveling in Mexico this past winter we were stopped several times in Mexico by the federal police. We had language barriers and the motor home searched several times. Each time we were treated professionally and never felt intimidated. When we came back into the US we were intimidated by the US agent. It didn't start right with their first question "Why are you here?". It went down hill from there. We were escorted out of the motor home and told to stand in one place for 30 minutes while they searched every compartment, the dingy and inside. While this was going on, a agent had our passports and instead of confirming we were, he talked to another agent about a personal experience for the previous day. It ended with the passports being returned and told to go. Nothing confiscated or questioned. I know they have a tough job to do but a little attitude adjustment would go a long way.
