So I’m going through our local border patrol check point (inside the USA might I add) and the n00b agent at the station takes a long time peering through the tinted windows of my van. He proceeds to ask me what I carry in the van.
My reply is that I’m not carrying anything in the van at present.
He comes back to me with “well what do you usually carry in the van”.
I respond “it’s a work van I carry a lot of different things in it”.
This goes back and forth a couple times before he asks, “why do you use this for a work van?”
At this point I’m about ready to slap him silly, but mustering up my best Christian graces I respond that it’s a great work van and that’s why I use it.
He answers, “well you have a lot of brush in your van, it looks rather suspicious” and let’s me go.
Now if the guy really needed a stick of hash he could have just straight up asked, but in all honesty I don’t get his logic and have one more straw against my wonderful government that wants to know why the **** my van is dirty INSIDE!

LOL - they’re bored, I guess - or trying to impress.
I went through that crossing once w/ Rich and his kids, one of which was asking about the buses they had parked in their lot, so I’m answering the kids’ question but the guard was all suspicious of why I was checking out their buses. Ha!
He asked Rich where I was from and when I told him where I was from (yup, amazing how I can speak English too) and asked if there was a problem, he said “well, it doesn’t look like you’re from around here the way you’re checking out our buses”. HA! I kindly pointed out to him that I don’t live there, so yes, I’m not from that area, but still a US citizen - and the kid was the one asking out of childish interest and he seemed a bit embarrassed at that, but yeah…it was almost enlightening to him to realize that I could still be a US citizen. - Me looking all Mexican and stuff.
