im on numba 2 passport in my incredible "life road trip" and have crossed the canuck border numerous times with no problems either way. long haired bearded, short hair bearded, just short hair and a mustachio.
samo with the messikan border, in europa, barbados.
butt in hawaii sans mega scuba gear/cameras/etc, i must have set off the TILT-O-METER, man they came down on me like a ton of POO! after being total dorks about my 35 mm film canisters filled with..........you guessed it .......exposed film i got pissed. then the TILT-O-METER really got pegged and a whole squad of goons showed up(armed of course) and we had a POW-WOW. they wanted to know who i dove with(shop/boats), when i went diving, where i went diving blah blah. the freeking 3rd degree. wanted to see my scuba "C" (cert) card, drivers license, and all the time i am showing them my passport and have my gear strung out to holy high hell across the airport floor. this mind you was OSG(maui) and theres not a stinking critical military installation anywhere on that island worth a spit. let alone it was pretty damn obvious i wasnt smuggling osama bin laden out or any bricks of "maui -wowee".
total pricks and i will never forget their faces. this was post 9/11 and yes there was an "alert" for scuba divers due to alleged terrorists(the terror-the terror) SUPPOSEDLY taking scuba lessons and buying scuba gear up in the NE states(oregon/washington). have these guys surfaced yet? are they still down there unta-wata???
i ask all of you here and now.............DOES ALFRED E. NEWMAN(what me worry?)aka ODDJOB UNO EL JEFE GRANDE DE LA MAGNIFICO look like a freeking terrorist?
what a bunch of jerks. thanks OSG(maui) airport idiot morons/TSA for such a pleasant experience being in my home country going back to my home country with a freeking BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART STATE DEPT FREEKING PASSPORT!
i had an easier time leaving europa right after the 1972 munchen(munich) olympic massacre than leaving maui. and security at frankfurter(frankfurt) WAS TIGHT AS A DRUM!
