Just off the top of my head?

Some goals: to deter others, to extra-legally punish me personally, to pressure me into taking some kind of action that is subject to punishment, to upset others into action that is also subject to punishment, to profile me under stress, to monitor my associates as I am harassed, to watch the tactics or long term strategy, to attempt to provide comfort for these stresses (that's a weird story), and so.

So yeah, they're trying to make an example of me but it's not limited to run ins with CBP. The ongoing legal issue with a specific microblog is another example. Visiting me when I give talks is another.

There are others but I'm not comfortable discussing them at this time.

Sorry, you're incorrect about why I am unmarried to a Canadian woman.

You have no idea what actions I am taking or not taking. However, you have shown that you are not interested in supporting me when I discuss the harassment that I receive.

For example, if I filed formal complaints or suit against CBP, would you support my actions? If so, why do you not support the actions that you have seen so far? If not, why are you here? Just to tell me that there is a single way to respond and that I'm wrong?

Do you really believe that I should simply be silent about the specific harassment that I receive?

There is more than one way to respond and I'm taking all of my options seriously. Your presumption of knowledge about my actions is of course incorrect and your arrogance is showing.

You clearly missed the context for the word coward in the above thread. The word is appropriate in the confined context that I used it.

It went poorly.

Public defeatism? I'm sorry but you're simply not seeing the bigger picture here. Silence is defeat. I am speaking up about what is happening to thousands of people by telling my story. I have never claimed that I am alone. Quite the contrary actually - I told the author of this story that I am but one of thousands.

This has nothing to do with the TSA. You're confused.

Actually, this happens whenever I travel across a border - for personal or business trips.

In any case, it doesn't cost anyone but me (in time, stress, etc) anything extra.

It is one of the goals and I'd love to see your evidence to the contrary.

That won't work for a number of reasons that are both technical and legal.

I have a possible solution. I'll publish a paper on the topic in the near future for the benefit of everyone that has to deal with this kind of nonsense.

No, that is not possible as that is not my intention.

This could turn into a fantastic recycling program!

Your first premise is flawed: I have not determined that I have nothing else to lose.

I'd also highly endorse reading Johnny Got His Gun.
