As someone who's literally crossing borders for a living, trust me when I say you don’t want to stand out to customs. The digital nomad life is tough enough without adding interrogations into the mix. Stick with being a mystery on your travel blog or something!

Tempting to act out the fantasy but let's be real, airport security ain't the movies. They have a job to do and I'm not gonna be the one responsible for causing a scene. Plus I like my freedom, thank you very much!

Buddy of mine thought it'd be funny to act suspicious just for the laughs. Let's just say the laughs stopped when he got questioned for an extra hour and barely made his connection. Customs isn't the place for comedy hour, man.

I bet I could pull it off, I’ve traveled enough to know the drill. But then again, why tempt fate? I’m smooth, but customs is no joke. I saw a guy get pulled to the side for cracking a dumb joke. Nope, not for me!

Thinking about doing something like that gives me anxiety lol! I just smile and answer what they ask, hoping to get through as quickly as possible.

I once told a customs officer that I was traveling for a clown convention – he didn't believe me until I pulled out a honking red nose from my bag. His face was priceless! Not exactly spy-level, but goes to show some officers have a sense of humor.

tell them you're a spy and watch as you become the centerpiece in an inter-agency standoff, might score a free cavity search tho!

Haha, that sounds like a fun idea but probably not the best to joke about that with customs. They're pretty serious and I wouldn't wanna risk missing a flight or getting detained for a silly joke, ya know?
