Default lexus SC national threat

My brother and i were coming back to detroit from Windsor, canada . The customs agent asked how Much money i had on me, i said 23.25. he replied back with why do you know how much money you have, i said because you asked. he than looked in my trunk asked why there's a gas tank in the trunk. i told him its just there, he sent me to inspection. the guy at inspection was saying arabic terms, i said i bet you enjoy hackling people. i got put in a room and got yelled at. they said to fix my tank.

I'm writing this from the customs room, they are trying to make it look like i did something wrong. i told him the gas tank is just a reason to checkup On me. he just yelled at me about how hard his job is, i just gave him a stare. i told him this is nothing new, i get hackled for anything. My brother told me they had dog searching my car. i cant wait to go home. they keep telling me to get my gas tank.

Tell windsor to visit YOU.

PS- if no one else will say it I will, It's because your middle eastern. I cannot stand profiling. Tell him if he wants to do his job give you your damn keys and quit profiling you.

Well, actually wait until you get your keys back to say that....lol. It might cost you more time.

hass, that is brutal. first the thieves taking your system, and now this: just brutal. get back into this country, grab a beer, and watch the lions torch the nfl tomorrow afternoon.

ps. I got heckled to all hell the only time I went to Canada. The lady claimed that she saw out of state IDs (ie. not Michigan) that looked fake...just like mine...except those were terrorists that she allegedly intercepted...I turned out to be just a college kid looking for a good time at 19.

I know right? Like he has not had enough to deal with. I'd like to help him lock THAT guy in a small cell for a few hours and give HIM crap until he can't stand it anymore.

That's what i told the agent, i was like sir i've had my **** stolen this is the last thing i want to happen. He was asking how i drive a nice car with such low income, i told him saving money is an amazing thing. He called me a jack ***, i told him i'm not acting like a jack ***. The reason i'm acting like this is because i feel violated and you have no reason to pick me from all of the cars there.

As we were getting ready to leave, we saw 4 older Iraqi gentlemen coming in. They didn't know how to speak english well, i said greetings in arabic and the agent behind the counter placed his handon the gun. They were getting treated like crap because they couldn't understand them. We felt bad for them because as younger generation we know our rights better than the older foreigners.

Thanks guys,

btw: I don't drink lol, i just wanted to come home and blow off some steam on Rainbow six.
