Having travelled through LAX MANY times, I can confirm that the INS are a bunch of petty c**ts, mostly. I can't determine if these French guys received anything out of the ordinary because they were French or not. It is typical that if you try to enter the USA without a valid visa, it's going to be tough on you. The other problem is that it can be arbitrary, some of these guys in immigration are c**ts and will try and dick you around even when you do have valid visas. I don't think it serves them right but if they didn't have valid visas, could well be that no entry to the US is allowed and back you go on the next available flight and you are detained until then, regardless of nationality. I assure you, these were not the only guys refused entry to the USA at LAX that day.

Yeh when I was in the US the people at the airport were real bastards but i suppose it wasn't too far on from September 11th. Well, the people at Chicago were pricks but at Detroit they were cool. Even when the woman had to search my bag because they saw a... comb! she was cool about it.
Still though I think their nationality will have played a part, all of the anti-french feeling that is being stirred up.

I wouldn't read too much into the anti French sentiment. In general, it's mostly confined to media hype and attention seeking whores pulling crazy stunts like pouring wine down the sink or "freedom fries" bullshit or stupid talk radio tossers.
I came through US immigration in Toronto airport a few years ago and the INS guy there was a c**t. I nearly let fly at him but I knew I would come worse off out of any verbal exchange. It was down to the way my wife had filled out the customs form. I was fizzing mad and opted for a couple of Labatts. They're not all bad but when you get a c**t with a chip on his/her shoulder, lookout !

OK fine DONT bin the thread. I don't care.
Calum: you are a troll. I used to think you were the most respectable person here but that was uncalled for. I thought you would have more respect for others opinions YOU SACK OF MAGGOT-INFESTED IGNORANT SHIT. Note that was in response to your direct words against me and my beliefs in government you FUCKING PRICK.
I AM NOT SAYING I DONT CARE WHAT BUSH DOES. I AM SAYING THAT I DONT WANT TO DISCUSS IT _*HERE*_.
I heard on Fox News the other day (the only one I enjoy watching) that Bush and the administration have been kind of trying to get out of the WMD thing, that there never was WMDs. Ok, that interests me. I don't like Bush and the gang lying, but I still am glad Saddam Hussein is on the way out. Wouldn't you? Or don't you think there is something WRONG about a country with *no* opposition to the leaders whatsoever. Despite what you all are thinking in your heads, don't you dare say it's because "They all agree because Iraq is perfect" because that cannot be true of any country. Some people by _nature_ dislike governments, and the only way to repress that is just that. repression.
In response: I do care very much about the political world. But if you want to talk about politics, let's make a Political forum where killing poodles can be discussed.
I absolutely love talking about technology and discussing Microsoft and Microsoft's weaknesses, but this doesn't fall under anything that this site is about. Can we theme things a bit more and leave apples to apple trees and political messages to political forums?

WMD=Weapons of Mass Destruction, that makes sense now. Why did I miss that?
