To Whom it may Concern..

"Nothing is to be feared but fear itself." - Francis Bacon
I know a lot of people are going to get really riled up by this but it's what happened and I'm telling it because I think it's the right thing to do and I think travelers (especially youtubian travelers) should know and be prepared for the possibility of what happened to me happening to them also
if they are thinking of traveling to the states in today's world. Judging alone by the tons of mails I have received from travelers all over the globe since telling me stories that in some cases are much worse then my own, it is clear to me this is not some freak isolated incident. And that is sa
d. I realize Homeland Security have an important job to do. All I ask.. and I think you should ask.. is that they DO that job thoroughly and with respect to their fellow human beings. The two officers that dealt with me did not. This is mostly about those officers.. NOT America. I'm not anti-america
n. I am anti-idiocy. My case needs to be reviewed and looked over by Homeland Security. I will not give up until this happens. Some super happy US travel tips by Dan: - Memorize phone numbers of loved ones. - Keep your e-mails censored from all forms of joking, sarcasm or riddles at least 1
2 months before travel. If someone mails you with any of the above delete them immediately. - Make sure you have "permanant ties" to your nation before you leave it. Find out and be sure of what a "permanent tie" is and is not before departure. - Do not film squat toilets in Japanese airports just
because you think they look funny. This is considered odd behavior. - Leave your laptop at home. - Be aware that if you are meeting someone while in the US you've never met before in real life and have only known through other means (such as telephone, email & You Tube) this is considered highly suspicious and it will be deemed that you "do not know" the person and they are "not your friend" if you have not actually physically met them before.
- Bring more then one copy of your ATM receipts proving your bank account balance.. one may get "lost" unexpectedly. - Do not wear pants on the plane that require a belt to hold them up.. ------------------------------------------- What the I94W form looks like. You must fill this form out upo
n entering the US. http://www.immihelp.com/visas/i-94w.html *Pay particular attention to the "waiver of rights" section -------------------------------- If you'd like to show your support or just have an opinion on the issue. Please post a video response to this video rather then the AustrALIEN o
ne. I'd appreciate it a lot. Something needs to be done about this.

What you need to do ... ( 1 week ago by Calliber50)
What you need to do is set up a paypal account. Then start taking donations to refund you the flight. Then we can claim the donation on our tax forms. It'll be like the US giving you a sweet chunk of change for screwing you over. Seriously though, I apologize for the assholes in my government. The US is a beautiful country and they screwed you out of getting to see it. You got their names? Post them on a video. We'll make sure those fucks lose their jobs. Eye for an eye!

You, know, this has nothing to do with me personally, but as an American I feel the need to wholeheartedly and sincerely apologize for the way you were treated. It was unfair in every way, but the saddest thing is I'm not surprised. This sort of thing probably happens every day, but you've made it public. More Americans should be aware of your story. I've never been to Canada, but I can almost guarantee you they won't pull this shit. Good luck to you in the future!

As an American...I concur. You guys should put a call out to all Non-Americans who've been treated this way and put your stories up on one website. Seriously. Even in this country, we're treated like criminals. Every company I've worked for for the past 5 years has cameras in the offices and workshops to watch what the employees are doing. The American government doesn't even trust it's own citizens..so this is no surprise.

i had an almost as bad experience. I tried once to enter the U.S. on my Italian passport. (I am a dual national of U.S. & Italy) I was only planning on staying for the Christmas season to visit my family. I couldn't really afford to get my U.S. passport renewed. When they saw my place of birth (New York, USA), the officer went CRAZY! so, they interrogated me for 2 hours and made me charge $300 on my credit card for an "emergency passport renewal" I missed xmas eve dinner that night :( Ty, DHS.

you know what makes me laugh about americas poilcys is it was founded on immigrants and yet they treat..brown people like 2nd class citizens. i hope america sorts its act out and finally comes to its senses that its one big hipocracy. I hope canada treats you right dont let it affect you too badly

SO you had the money to fly to the USA, with the intention of meeting with a girl you met online, and you were turned away by Homeland Security.
Isn't that just terrible, you poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor petal. The thing is they don't just target anyone for no reason, and that's what you would have us believe. If people stopped thinking oh lets do some America bashing they would realise that.... You've been up to no good and the U
S government know about it.

It's been on tv and it's already been investigated and proven I did nothing wrong. If it happened to you, you'd be piping a different tune.

What was the 'no good' he's been up to? and he wasn't just going to meet a girl doofus, he was meeting all the friends he'd had online for a cuple of years! It's just the friend named baccah was the one he was meeting first! He didn't say they target anyone for no reason, they just target people because of STUPID reasons, and besides- certain aspects of all countries need bashing-paraniod security is amercia's main one, well maybe not paranoid, but ruff and disrespectful.
I was treated ... ( 1 day ago by nosimporta)
I was treated rudely at an airport in Phoenix. So what! I didn't mind... I'd stop anyone whom I thought a would-be threat too if I were in charge of Homeland Security! The US has gotten all sorts of threats and attacks... and you want them to be cool about it? If one's innocent, there's nothing to fear... and if they decide not to let me into their country... well... it's THEIR country! You decide who you let into your home... what makes you think they can't? It's their home!
I am so sorry that ... ( 1 hour ago by SayuriLady)
I am so sorry that happened to you ;_; I would be so pissed off if I were you. As an American I am embarrised how stupid and egocentric those guards were acting. Really, people are way to parinoid here.
