No.  Just because he's off the hook as such doesn't mean that Customs 
will know about it. Customs officials often appear to me to be in 
their own little world...(personal opinion only.)

I wasn't aware that Phil would have problems at customs anyway.  If 
you answer the questions truthfully and are a US citizen, they really 
can't hold you back.

answer the questions truthfully and they can not detain you???

	yeah, that's what it says.  BS.  ask any of us who have been 
    detained by the zealots.  I was detained 36 hours at LA, 18 at 
    Dulles, etc.  If you've made the list, you've made the list, and a 
    custom's inspector with a bug up his ass is a nasty person. 

	Rule 1:	 smile regardless of the adversity
	Rule 2:	 other than the three questions on the form, say nothing
	Rule 3:  never use LA or Dulles -pick an airport with humans.

	well, I guess I had better admit it; the travelling public got 
    their money's worth in LA. after customs had shredded and Xray'd
    everything and I was tired, very tired after the long one from New
    Delhi to LA, I was hostile enough to humiliate them sufficiently to
    close all nearby lines --then I mooned them. TS and the red mask can 
    be a wonderful excuse!  I guess I just havent learned --and I was over
    50!  Dulles was previous history....  oh, yeah, they have not bugged 
    me for some time.
