The Day US Customs Found A Bullet In My Pocket
Meh... the whole thing didn't sound so unreasonable to me. The guy took a trip to two places well known for harboring and training terrorists. They found a bullet, a piece of terrorist propaganda, a burqa, and a note in his journal outlining some desire to renounce his citizenship.<p>I'd be pretty damn suspicious too. I may not like it, but there are folks trying to kill us (all of us). These agents have a job, and that's to try and ferret out as many of these people attempting entry to our country as possible. It may be inconvenient, and it may be pretty nasty...but it's necessary. That's the reality of the situation.<p>I'll also remind everyone to take any one-sided account like this with a certain grain of salt. It's a pretty emotional thing, and often certain points are quite exaggerated. Sometimes "yelling" is really "stern questioning". Other times "an hour and a half" is really "15 minutes".<p>Ok.. let the down-voting commence :)
