I remember Canadians being in denial when I was telling them I was treated like a criminal at the border and that I was over reacting. (I didn't go willingly to the US back then either)

In the customs line at CDG to leave Schengen some airport staff told "You can go to the automatic line"
Me: "not with that passport"
Her: "all you need to provide your fingerprint"
Me: "So absolutely no"
Her: "Oh. You are one of these..."
See. Be militant about privacy, get push back. It's like environmentalist... It's hard to not be cynical when you get asked to comply...
