In reply to the discussion: Living in a Police State- The Airport Experience [View all]glowing
(12,233 posts)my passport stamped (it had been stamped for Spain, Germany, and England, even though 2 of those countries I never left the airport, just transferred). I kept waiting for one of the machine-weaponed guards to stop my sister and me somewhere for missing some sort of security check.... Never happended, and as we learned, the weapons were more like a "uniform" item and that the one's who wore them weren't thought of too highly. There were 2 types of policing agents. It was very interesting. I wish that every American who wished to travel abroad to any country in their Senior year, could. It would be eye opening and make people, in general, less aprehensive about "non-Americans". I would def think it would be harder to lie about all those European-socialist agendas.
