EXPIRED PASSPORT NORTHBOUND

Just because a quote came out of a custom agent's mouth, doesn't automatically make it official US policy. I once had a custom agent tell me "Have a good day" after getting some dental work and then I proceeded to stop at the Casino just inside the US border near Yuma and lost about $1500.00. I didn't have a good day. Should I call my congressman and ask them to recover my losses and get me some compensation for the tooth pain?. BTW, if he said "exactly" what the OP said, "We could care less", that means there are issues that are of less importance to Customs and Immigration than expired passports, so that issue does have some significance. If they truly weren't concerned, the exact quote would have been "we couldn't care less".
