"Nothing is to be feared but fear itself." - Francis Bacon
I know a lot of people are going to get really riled up by this but it's what happened and I'm telling it because I think it's the right thing to do and I think travelers (especially youtubian travelers) should know and be prepared for the possibility of what happened to me happening to them also
if they are thinking of traveling to the states in today's world. Judging alone by the tons of mails I have received from travelers all over the globe since telling me stories that in some cases are much worse then my own, it is clear to me this is not some freak isolated incident. And that is sa
d. I realize Homeland Security have an important job to do. All I ask.. and I think you should ask.. is that they DO that job thoroughly and with respect to their fellow human beings. The two officers that dealt with me did not. This is mostly about those officers.. NOT America. I'm not anti-america
n. I am anti-idiocy. My case needs to be reviewed and looked over by Homeland Security. I will not give up until this happens. Some super happy US travel tips by Dan: - Memorize phone numbers of loved ones. - Keep your e-mails censored from all forms of joking, sarcasm or riddles at least 1
2 months before travel. If someone mails you with any of the above delete them immediately. - Make sure you have "permanant ties" to your nation before you leave it. Find out and be sure of what a "permanent tie" is and is not before departure. - Do not film squat toilets in Japanese airports just
because you think they look funny. This is considered odd behavior. - Leave your laptop at home. - Be aware that if you are meeting someone while in the US you've never met before in real life and have only known through other means (such as telephone, email & You Tube) this is considered highly suspicious and it will be deemed that you "do not know" the person and they are "not your friend" if you have not actually physically met them before.
- Bring more then one copy of your ATM receipts proving your bank account balance.. one may get "lost" unexpectedly. - Do not wear pants on the plane that require a belt to hold them up.. ------------------------------------------- What the I94W form looks like. You must fill this form out upo
n entering the US. http://www.immihelp.com/visas/i-94w.html *Pay particular attention to the "waiver of rights" section -------------------------------- If you'd like to show your support or just have an opinion on the issue. Please post a video response to this video rather then the AustrALIEN o
ne. I'd appreciate it a lot. Something needs to be done about this.

i had an almost as bad experience. I tried once to enter the U.S. on my Italian passport. (I am a dual national of U.S. & Italy) I was only planning on staying for the Christmas season to visit my family. I couldn't really afford to get my U.S. passport renewed. When they saw my place of birth (New York, USA), the officer went CRAZY! so, they interrogated me for 2 hours and made me charge $300 on my credit card for an "emergency passport renewal" I missed xmas eve dinner that night :( Ty, DHS.

SO you had the ... ( 1 month ago by BluPup8)
SO you had the money to fly to the USA, with the intention of meeting with a girl you met online, and you were turned away by Homeland Security.
Isn't that just terrible, you poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor petal. The thing is they don't just target anyone for no reason, and that's what you would have us believe. If people stopped thinking oh lets do some America bashing they would realise that.... You've been up to no good and the U
S government know about it.

What was the 'no good' he's been up to? and he wasn't just going to meet a girl doofus, he was meeting all the friends he'd had online for a cuple of years! It's just the friend named baccah was the one he was meeting first! He didn't say they target anyone for no reason, they just target people because of STUPID reasons, and besides- certain aspects of all countries need bashing-paraniod security is amercia's main one, well maybe not paranoid, but ruff and disrespectful.
I was treated ... ( 1 month ago by nosimporta)
I was treated rudely at an airport in Phoenix. So what! I didn't mind... I'd stop anyone whom I thought a would-be threat too if I were in charge of Homeland Security! The US has gotten all sorts of threats and attacks... and you want them to be cool about it? If one's innocent, there's nothing to fear... and if they decide not to let me into their country... well... it's THEIR country! You decide who you let into your home... what makes you think they can't? It's their home!
See how people like ... ( 1 month ago by nosimporta)
See how people like to bash anyone who doesn't agree with them? Gosh! Grow out of your self-proclaimed victimhood and yes... if he had e-mails that made authorities a bit concerned... well... if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I'm really sorry ... ( 2 days ago by lestismitethee)
I'm really sorry that happened to you :\ But honestly, this happens in most countries. Many of my friends have gone to places in Europe where it's perfectly fine for the guards to point their guns at you and take you away for interrogation. Upon finding anything threatening, they deport them straight back to the U.S. But you're right, the U.S. is extremely paranoid right now and they will do anything to keep people out.
