A couple days ago while flying out of Chicago to Houston my briefcase was stolen while grabbing a quick breakfast at Starbucks before my flight. This was prior to going through security. At TSA security I explained I had absolutely no ID - after about 10 minutes a supervisor had me fill out a form asking for my name, address and signature. Then he got on the phone with someone to confirm my ID. Relaying between myself and whoever was on the end of the call:
"
Date of birth?
Dec 12, .....
How long have you been at this address?
8 months
Previous address?
Out of country
Citizenship?
Canadian, visiting
When and where did you enter the US?
about 4 months ago, Windsor/Detroit"
After a 30-60 sec pause while the TSA was being instructed by whoever on the other end I said "My wife just emailed me saying my briefcase was actually left at home and she would be delivering it in 15 minutes. Can I leave?"
He said I am able to not complete if I like. So I left.
The above answers do not show anything illegal happening (it didnt/hasnt as I never overstayed or worked) however I can see it may cause customs/immigration to be suspicious.
Would I be at risk of any of these:
A) People showing up at the door of the address provided
B) Having customs called next time I book a flight in the US
C) Having a red flag (or denied) on my profile next time I enter the US
Thank you
