I would love to disagree with you on that but the agents I've met when crossing the boarder have taken all that fight right out of me. Although certainly not all, there are enough that it is just assumed that one behaves like a whipped dog when approaching the booth. The day I was happy with the agent (I was on vacation!!) she very nearly shot me, and the SO looked at me as if I was shoplifting; the SO already knew that you don't talk nicely to the agent!
