        Sounds like they're doing their job. Could have gone easier on the old lady but at least they're guarding the boarder.

        there is no part of the job that requires rudely interrogating elderly Australians. The tactics are unacceptable.

        interrogations are not the same as Q & A. The tactics are there for a reason - to try to catch baddies.

        and what reason is there to believe that this woman is a “baddie” in need of this treatment? It makes no sense.

        But that is a *good* thing if you care about border security - the person was red flagged and CBP did their job.

        What's getting a lot of play here is that the person was older, female, well off and white. A young, poor, person of color - nada.

        at ban outset, non-wht people were targeted and people of all colors fought back. To suggest otherwise is false narrative

        I'm just commenting why the story is getting play. Thousands of people a day get similar treatment who aren't white/rich

        I understand. To report on a thing means other things are excluded. Lines get drawn even if not intentional.

        Agreed. Press does not need to write about wealthy white people getting grilled at border - that's a good thing. More!
