But of course. :) I'm always as polite as I can possibly be when dealing with Customs. I was sent through secondary screening at LAX on my way home from Gallifrey in 2006, and that was no fun. I'd prefer not to repeat the experience.
(My flight was a codeshare with El Al, and I showed up sweating and out of breath because I'd gone to the Air Canada check-in desk in a different terminal in error, and had to run across the airport. I was wearing my winter coat because it was February, despite the fact that it was about 15C in L.A. at the time. And my passport picture showed me with my natural dark hair and a full beard, whereas I was blond and clean-shaven at the time. So I'm not surprised that they had questions, though since I had souvenir items from the convention on me, you'd think that they might have accepted my explanation as to what I was doing there...)
