Wow! Flying into the USA is a tough business these days. We expected to have to pick up our checked bag of souvenirs, go through customs, recheck the bag, etc. They checked Darren's fingerprints (all fingers) and did a retina scan. Darren’s bag was bag thoroughly searched. We also got pulled over at customs. They didn't say what was wrong, but took my passport and his green card into the Homeland Security office.
We felt it was a little over the top.
The guy who searched Darren's bag asked where we were from and Darren responded that he was from England and I was from WV. He asked where in WV (he'd driven through there). I said a small place no one has ever heard of. He asked me if it was near I95 or Richmond?
I’m now considering getting cow poop chocolates for my co-workers.
