Gaining a Customs Officer's Brevet long after WW2

Your richly varied career rolls ever onward, Danny42C ... never a dull moment, eh?

Looking forward to the next thrilling instalment, which hopefully includes tips of the trade that we can then use to our advantage!!

As an aside (on Customs) we arrived at Dulles Airport on Friday, having completed our US Customs Declaration (CBP Form 6059B) on the aircraft. This was presented, along with our Passports, at Immigration, where the Form was duly read and stamped. Then, having reclaimed our bags, we joined another line/queue ... where a Customs operative duly took the Form, grunted and waved us onward. I assume this helps reduce unemployment in the USA? Although possibly it ensures we don't substitute a different Form after Immigration but before leaving the Terminal. But even so, I always wonder what this double process is actually intended to achieve.
