If she got her luggage she was done with immigration. At LAX you go thru immigration first then you collect your bags and go thru customs. Then your are done to leave. Total false and uninformative post by our fluent English. I cannot believe any immigration officer would speak to anyone like that. Although I had a female officer try and take a Von Dutch bag I had brought back to Thailand years ago. I had brought back about 10 bags for my daughters friends. Customs had me empty my bag and this femal officer took the bags and she seperated one from the group. After a check the bags were ok as no notice about them being counterfit in the computer. The woman shoved all the bags over to me except the one, while putting the bags in my luggage I told her by the way I will also take the bag over there, being the one she seperated. She had a crappy look on her face O well it is how it goes.
