Mark read your entry and his comment was along the lines of 'Tis a pity that they can't screen out the undesirable elements of society from jobs of this importance.'
We ended up having a conversation about my experiences at the border. Having dated him for two years I had my experiences but they were with the Canadian border guards rather then the U.S. ones but that's either through luck or the fact that I'm a U.S. citizen. I don't know which one it is or if it's a factor of both. I wish it wasn't something I have to wonder about. I am sorry that this is the final nail in your U.S. traveling coffin. I'm sorry your friend is going through this (Mark and I are tight right now but we're looking at our budget to see if there's wiggle room somewhere). I'm sorry there are people who do this bullshit and I'm sorry beyond measure that there are people who've paid the ultimate price for those who pull this bullshit.
