At least you’re not in G-Bay. Sounds scary, though!

Sorry to read this. This is a really big problem for the americans. Once regarded as the land of the free, USA is being taken over by less bright or just paranoid people. Anyone who questions this crap is considered not a patriot, so the lid is kept on. Bureaucracy will never protect the land from terrorists, but make life hell for travelers and us who love this place. Before 9/11 security people was just the stupid embarrasing guys with more muscles than brains- now they are in charge setting the rules..

Ugh, so sorry to hear this. National embarrassment in my opinion.

I passed through PHL a couple of weeks ago flying from England to Arizona on vacation. The border official asked some intrusive questions and the queues were 40mins long.
On the way back I received a full body scan at PHX (standard procedures)

Yeah, thanks TSA I really love being treated as a criminal/terrorist.

My reluctance to travel to USA and reduced visits costs their economy about $3000 a year, and I expect there are 1000′s like me.

For USA you always best to put everthing on a Google drive or other cloud service (the stuff you essentially need). And leave the notebook as empty/spick&span as possible. Not using a password is also beneficial for those crackers, since “paranoia people” would use one. Porn or other business that’ll give them a boner is also a no-go.
