khunsanuk Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hi, "having the officer read my diary etc" WTF!! How can this be even remotely be there business? I'd say they would have no right to read it. Leaf through to check it for hidden stuff, but read, no way man. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 We may be the 'free-est' country but civil liberties have been slowly eroding for some time and the war on terrorism has speeded it up a little in the name of safety. Its not even hidden anymore. I think its Poindexter who is in charge of designing a computer database to store all of our personal data. Not just suspects but all 300 million americans. Medical, financial, etc. I think it was Ben Franklin but it could have been someone else who said something to the effect '...those that would give up a little freedom for a little security, deserve neither...' Anyway, we're a little off topic but the source country thing is a reason that was sited in my case and its also my understanding that Nigerians coming from there to the U.S. are looked at with a lot of scrutiny as Lagos, the capital is a major transit city. I've read some are even x-rayed as they transport heroin by swallowing heroin filled balloons to be excreted upon arrival. Other nationalities as well, the 'golden triangle' in southeast asia that Thailand is a part of, Syria's baaka (sp.) vallley also, as well as the Dutch as Holland is reportedly a major ectasy supplier.

shygye Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 I remember seeing a documentary on Heathrow airport. The customs agents targeted people of color returning from Jamaica if they were travelling alone or with a small child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 There is allegedly a major ganja (marijuana) traffic between Jamaica and England. Customs will have a lot of work stopping Jamaicans though. There are probably more people of Jamaican heritage in England than there are Jamaicans on the island.

spirit_of_town_hall Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 FYI the biggest producers of ecstasy now are Israeli criminal gangs, they are slso the biggest distributors. I think most of the ecstasy in Europe is made in the Netherlands, in small towns near the German border. STH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
