Ed, you call the Customs Service officers "Jerks" and "Goons" because they are
enforcing the laws that are written by Congress; if they did not enforce those
laws, they would be derelict in their duty. You may not agree with the
laws...but casting aspersions on those who enforce them is not the hallmark of
"an OK guy" (IMHO).

I don't know what things were like in the 60's when you say these things
happened, but when I came through Customs at airports (twice in 1996) and at
the border (1997, I think) the officers were very professional, courteous, and
pleasant...hardly the "Jerks" and "Goons" of your description.
