Another International Sad-Sigh
Went to Canada this weekend with my girlfriends. The trip was really fun, until we attempted to cross back into the US. We were “randomly” selected for a full car search at the border and “randomly” I (with my Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan visas) and my friend who has a student visa from Yemen, 4 stamps from Oman, and stamps from Qatar and Dubai were “randomly” interviewed by Homeland Security. Pointed statements included “Did you go to Syria? No? Good” and some strange remarks about the “Islamists” in Norway.
But it was totally “random,” as they told us about 10 times. And so that flag I heard them talk about that may or may not be on my passport now is totally “random” too, I bet.

Sad. Reminds me of when my dad was “randomly” stopped for SARS checking because he got Asian glow from drinking on the airplane, and they figured he was flush with fever.
