Funny how the statement "I am unemployed" can change things. It's seems to have a negative connotation in the minds of some.

Coming back from Hong Kong I looked the arrival card's box marked occupation. As a force of habit I always put down researcher but as I am not working  (ON HOLIDAY!!) I thought I'd put down unemployed and see how that changed things.

You got it. I got sent to one side for what Customs call "secondary processing". 

Just to make certain that my "employment situation" was the reason I wrote to Customs and they confirmed that's why I got sent off to "secondary processing".
