On my return trip from the Philippines I was greeted with the usual rudeness at Atlanta airport. I understand the need and agree that we should have strict security on entry points to the US but to purposely be rude and forceful in unacceptable. I will probably get my name on a watch list or something but maybe then someone will listen.

Anyway here's a email I sent to the security department at Atlanta airport. I will keep you posted.

I have been through immigration/customs a few times in the past year and each time in Atlanta the security in customs is extremely rude. I COMPLETELY understand the seriousness of security but purposely being rude to incoming US citizens is unacceptable. My last example was yesterday when the customs lady who you hand your form to was talking to another agent and as I handed her the form, waited, and proceeded forward turned to me and said "Did I tell you, you could go?, You do not go until I tell you you can." Because of the attitudes flying already I didn't say anything but was incredibly upset I was talked to this way, especially after traveling 28 hours. It never ceases to amaze me things like this always happen when I return.
I would like to know the process for reporting such activity. If I do not hear from someone, nest time I will ask the officers name and manager and go from there. I am all for securing our borders but those with power should not provoke instances.
thank you...
