I can’t see where customs has any authority there. I think I’d call 911 and tell them I’m being illegally detained at the airport by someone pretending to be a federal agent.

Good idea...every one of them should’ve called a cop and made a report of false detainment.

I’m doing some checking on their jurisdiction. Apparently, the recent authority given to them to set up inland checkpoints isn’t the cause of this. Basically, what I’m gleaning (it’s hard to find reliable and clear info on this), is that since Customs is a Federal agency, they technically have jurisdiction ANYWHERE in the U.S., even though they normally only work at ports of entry.
