So I have to do a border run in a few days

Of possible interest to U.S. citizens... I made a one day trip to Ventianne while on my recent visit to Udon. It wasn't to extend my tourist visa, just genuine site seeing. Something about that one day trip set off bells and whistles upon returning to the U.S. I was asked to go into secondary inpection, my bags were THOROUGHLY searched, and I was asked many questions about why I went to Laos. It should be noted that my passport has stamps from more than a dozen trips in and out of middle eastern countries, including Iraq. I've also visited former USSR states in eastern Europe, and I've never been given a second look on returning to the U.S. Just a heads up.
