Josh-

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - been on a wretched travel schedule. 

Spoke with the former CBP Commissioner. Unfortunately, a success fee won't work in this matter.  While I feel confident we can achieve some actions that will significantly reduce the likelihood of secondary inspection - for example, the insertion of a notation in Munib's records that will diminish the referrals to secondary - we can never guarantee that an individual officer won't utilize his discretion to put Munib in secondary based on his own biases.  As such, it will be difficult to define success 

Although a success fee won't work, one alternative is an hourly rate with caps on the amount of time expended on the matter.  We would staff the matter with the former head of CBP (who generally charges $700), myself and a former CBP officer ($450 an hour).  Assuming there aren't any unexpected twists, I would estimate this matter would take approximately 15-20 hours.  Again, the idea would be to initiate high level conversations at CBP to take steps to minimize the likelihood of suspicion less referrals to secondary. 

As we discussed, one alternative is to reach out to the Hill.  The key is to have the member put pressure on CBP to insert a notation in Munib's TECS record (the CBP database utilized at ports of entry) that notes he has been subjected to secondary inspection on several occasions to negative effect.  This will minimize the chances he will be placed into secondary on future entries into the US.  

Happy to provide additional info as needed and again apologize for the delay in getting back to the group. 

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
