I still go travelling, including to the USA. I have a lot of fun coming back through the processes in NZ, but mind my Ps and Qs in other countries since I'm a visitor and should be polite, and they are perfectly entitled to set any rules they like. But a TIA guy at LAX threatened to arrest me last time for being in a "secure area" and asking where I should go for security checks. It wasn't a secure area - it was just that I had walked over to ask him where to go. Last time I went through Auckland Customs, I was telling the inspector how much I detested coming back through LAX. Told him that I'd started making a habit of packing my ripest, smelly, dirty laundry on the top layer of my suitcase. My minor revenge if they insisted on digging through it. He laughed and said "Good on ya, mate"...
