I've perfected my customs passing technique.

Simply assume an expression of complete exhaustion lightly tinged with absolute hatred for the person you are dealing with. Then add a thin veneer of obligatory civility.

The agent will recognize a kindred soul.

In all seriousness, being able to 'deaden' your eyes, removing all expression, will get you past most government-type people fairly rapidly. I don't have an explanation for this. Maybe the person sees that there will be no satisfaction in harassing you?
