I've had problems with US customs as well as having witnessed racial profiling right after 9-11, and also have been trhu humiliating situations when trying to get a visa, in the consulate here in Brazil. These people DO take advantage of their position to act superior and even infringe rights of those who travel or try to travel to the US, especially if they come from non-rich areas of the world, like Latin America, Africa and some places in Asia. I've been thru it more than a few times, even while I was a paying college student in the US. It's absurd and ridiculous. It makes a very bad impression of the US everywhere.
