Your customs experiences re-entering the US from Canada?

Then the officer asked me what is my social security number, as I stated that with all due respect, I refuse to disclose the number due to potential crime deterrent and identity theft deterrent as federal law states that I have the right to safeguard my number, and if I am to be detained and not cleared by your agency by refusing to disclose my number I will feel obligated to provide the information under duress, as I am sure you have authorization to view my database which that number is clearly on file anyway...

Great overall post but please clarify this part. It would seem that he is just trying to verify who you are and already has or can get the SS number. So it would seem that withholding the number would have limited potential crime deterrent. And also that you understand your rights and helped to establish who your are without giving the SS number.

Thanks for the post.
