You primarily deal with them before getting on an airplane in the US, for nearly all commercial flights (both international and domestic).&lt;p&gt;CBP are law enforcement officers in the customs (contraband, taxes, etc) and immigration (passport control, visas) domains operating at the border.  If you&amp;#x27;re traveling by plane, you primarily deal with them after you disembark from an international flight.</text><parent_chain><item><author>komali2</author><text>Dunno what to do about this. I think TSA is a sham and a waste of my money. I think border control is taking my money and using it to abuse people. I don&amp;#x27;t think it&amp;#x27;s ok that I can pay to avoid the poor people line at the airport.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve written my reps and the president, I call about once a month, but it has no measurable effect. Smarter people than me have done audits on TSA and published them in famous newspapers to show how useless they are. There&amp;#x27;s people fighting against CBP locking up asylum seekers but it still happens.&lt;p&gt;Dunno what to do. Partner and I are considering abandoning the USA.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>No one should have to travel in fear</title><url>https://medium.com/@andreasgal/no-one-should-have-to-travel-in-fear-b2bff4c460e5</url></story>
