I actually had an experience crossing into Canada where I was asked similar questions.
Where are you going? Why? How long? Who do you know there?
I was a bit taken aback, and I almost acted like this idiot to the Canadian border guards.
But I didn't; and realized later that they have every right to ask those kind of questions to me.

Now if I was coming back to the US and I was asked those kind of questions; I would have been more agitated than the guy on the recording.
Because that's my home country, and I am protected by my Constitution.

Let’s flip this around.
How do we know you’re an American citizen? Do you have your Passport?
There have been numerous false IDs created for illegal immigrants; how do we know that you’re not just claiming to be a Citizen so you can get those Constitutional Rights?

I answer those sort of questions every time I come to America.

Even more odd ones such as:

Have you ever committed genocide?

- A meek not that I can recall though I have been drunk a few times.

Do you plan to engage in terrorism once you land?

- Nope, unless you count Karaoke?

etc.

Most of the border guards I met asked all these questions in a zombie like manner. I answer my karaoke thing and off I go.

That is not the point though.

It seems you all missed this.

These border guards just wasted time in order to be sadists and made America more insecure in the meantime.
