i lie every time i go on vacation by myself.  after having to explain myself one time for absolutely no reason, now i just don&#x27;t even bother.  apparently traveling alone for pleasure is highly suspicious.<p>i tell them i&#x27;m traveling on business, or act vaguely rude to the border agent with very curt responses.  apparently they&#x27;re good at filtering the real liars because i&#x27;ve never been hassled since.
