a border officer searched for me on fucking facebook when i was going into the us in march. she said "i just want to know who you are and why you are coming".

i don't have a facebook account. she said this was really suspicious.

oh and she also found suspicious that i had two us entry stamps within a week of each other and didn't accept my explanation that i had gone through the us to go to england with my wife (even after i pointed to the GB entry stamp).

i hate going through the us border control.




Actually they ask for social media accounts when applying for a visa waiver now, e.g. ESTA.

I bet they'll mark you as suspicious if you travel without any electronics too, because that has become uncommon.


> she said "i just want to know who you are and why you are coming".

Isn't that what passport and visa are for?
