It's always fun crossing the US border...
When I visited the US last year I had to fill out a form stating what I did between 1933-1945 and that I didn't collaborate with the nazis - note that even my parents were born a decade after the war ended... (Of course I also had to state whether I was a terrorist...)

I really hope they will never have me fill out such a questionnaire, I couldn't help but write all sorts of nonsense and who knows what they would do. I might wake up in Guantanamo.

Nope, you will just be denied entry and sent home on the next flight (or after a visit to a holding cell) ... same as in European countries. That's why you have to fill out these forms before you fly so they can tell you before you arrive that you will not be allowed to enter the country and save you some trouble 😉 (also: never try to enter the US with a Kinder Surprise in your pockets)

I was really pissed off as I was fearing they would take the stuff out and not handle it carefully. Thankfully everything appeared ok.

On the other hand it works great, its awesome, my whole family is nauseous, and this was their general reaction upon first trying them. 😐 😐 😮 :shock: :lol: 😮 :? 😞 .
For some reason it made almost everyone dizzy... I was OK even after playing for over an hour, but most people couldn't stand more than 5 mins.

Also, if anyone is gonna publicly demo this thing..... bring some deseinfectant wipes, seriously... the first time I tried it I could feel my eyeballs up against the lenses.. It will just take a single person with pink eye to screw everyone else up.

You mean some European countries have questionnaires asking people what they did 40 years before their birth??? I need to travel more, is the world really that paranoid these days?
