The few times I went through them in the southwest (2009), I think they asked if I was a citizen and upon answering yes that was the end of it. They probably saw my uncooperative face, and didn't feel as entitled because it was earlier in the program. If my face had said "being hassled by uniformed thugs makes me feel safe" they would have probably given me a better molestation. And these days I would think they would feel more entitled since it's been going on for some time.
In reality any such stop is a detainment, and it is being done without any suspicion whatsoever. Exactly like drunk driving checkpoints (think of the children). But of course that's ignoring that our legal system has been turned to Swiss cheese by contradictions.
