This is not exclusive to the US. Every country's border works similar. They can do enhanced interrogation without probably cause, without a lawyer.

You're right to refuse is still intact but your request to gain entry will almost certainly be denied.

Be careful, "enhanced interrogation" denotes actual torture, such as waterboarding.

You are right. I've changed my reply to enhanced questioning.

It's a shame that GWB, Condi Rice, Cheney, Tenet, Ashcroft, and Rumsfeld are walking around, on TV, and sitting on boards and none have faced consequences.
