Generally now far quicker at main US airports than the EU lines at Heathrow even with the machines

I know literally no-one that this has happened to........
Absolutely. Problem at Heathrow is that there are dozens of machines, but usually only about 5 of the bloody things active.

I'm not sure if it was mandatory, but it was certainly in the ESTA I completed a couple of months ago. One of our group of 4 got stopped for a quick interview when we arrived in Chicago, based on postings she'd made about Trump on her Facebook page. She had to answer questions about whether it was her intent to cause him physical harm or if she was intending to hold or participate in a demonstration designed to destabilise his presidency.
Luckily, she behaved and didn't threaten to lead a coup attempt.

The point was that they can ask for it if they want to, and you have to give it to them or be deported.

2 years ago flying to LA from Vancouver I was taken into the second screening/processing area where I was asked to hand them over my phone and they had a look through, as well as taking my luggage off the plane and rummaging through.
All because I had a 1-way ticket and no firm return date. Big hassle for nothing, just wasting everyone's time.
I'll be getting a Nexus card next year to avoid all hassles when going to the US.

It’s the dumb ass questions which get me.

I would love to see her Facebook posts for it to be enough to get pulled aside. But then again I deleted FB because it was so littered with vitriol on politics so maybe not.
