During an arrival at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), a traveler requested a "Team Leader" (TL) at customs to resolve recurring database issues. This led to a 25-minute detention in a secondary screening room. The process revealed various internal codes used by Border Patrol agents on landing cards to flag passengers for further inspection.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak plan a social experiment for Adam's next entry into the United States. They discuss whether Adam should immediately ask for a "team leader" at customs to see if it changes the behavior of the agents or his likelihood of being sent to secondary inspection.

An entry into the United States resulted in a ninety-minute secondary screening by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) due to a name and birthdate match with a person of interest. An agent, who was a former whistleblower at Honda USA, explained that the "M" on the customs form stands for "match." The subject of the search is reportedly a 23-year-old man from Nebraska with a similar name, leading to the advice of asking for a "TL" (Team Leader) to expedite future screenings.
