[Marine Inspector]

The reason, of course, is that we were being videotaped and audiotaped, and he was covering his posterior in case I complained later.

LOL, sorry, that was not the case. We don't video record nor do we audiotape our interviews.

Also, you we not held up, only your wife was, you could have left at any time.

Well, I stand corrected. It certainly seemed like the inspector [not front line, we were in a private room] was speaking for an audience other than my wife and I, who were the only others in the room.

As for me being free to leave at any time, and leave my wife behind, I think what you mean was that I was under no LEGAL compulsion to remain. However, if I had left that would have resulted in a whole lot bigger problem than cooling my heels in Toronto for a night!
