I was once taken into a room and questioned by US border personnel for eating a banana after passing US pre-clearance at Dublin airport.

Technically still on Irish soil but within the US customs zone, apparently, and I had thus lied on my form when I said I wasn't tranporting fruit or vegetables into the USA.

Practically you were on Irish soil. Technically you were in a foreign trade zone of the United States :P
