Shocking report to some US Homeland security officers.

I was watching tonight with trevor mcdonald and, this week's eposide was about abusive immirgation officers putting some british citizens through hell (and they were innocent)

One lady; her family are from indian orign, she got off the planein JFK airport and then went to immirgation and they started looking at her passport then started to be asked "Where are your familly from" she repiled India. Next minute they took her to this room and accused her (and was not true) of over staying her welcome by 4days on her last trip to the USA. When she said it wasn't true, they said to her that "The United States of America does not believe you ." and the officer smile and said you may have to be deported, The immirgation officer was talking to this other officer that immediatly said "Deport Her!" she was taking to this holding centre, had lots of people with shackles, she was thinking about those poor people with the shackles on their feet, when suddenly she was ordered to sit down and this women officer grabbed her feet and didn't have any manners (as the TSA ruling says that the offices have to have manners) and then she was waiting by the map of the world and she started to cry. and two immirgation officers started to giggle/laugh at her. after 12 hours she was deported back to the UK. ( And they she wasn't even allowed to call the british embassy )
all she flew to new york was to do a report because she is a freelanced camerawomen. (She wasn't even deprived a drink)

Does TSA call this justice!

She was treated like a terrorist but wasn't and i know about the thight security and immirgation but that is ridiculous.

and thats what they did to a singer that was going to a conference the same that I was going to.

There is more stories; but i can't be arsed to type anymore.

EDIT: The women was born in britain

It's quite appaling. But whoever thought that America is a free country.

It's got a President the people didn't vote for, it imprisons hundreds of people without trial. It even has restrictions on which countrys it's citizens can visit.

What do you expect. When the top is so rotten it filters down.

I, Agree its very discusting that a country that claims to be free ,treats people OF ALL RACES like that! And TSA is warning that from September/October time they will finger print all nations that enter the USA, and they all so have will have the right to go through passengers credit cards, telephone numbers, and personal infomation when entering the US. (Its quite worrying, because they are some people that working in TSA and Security that have criminal records.)

Pres Bush is a monster that needs to be stopped before he start bombing other countries with his infected mind. ( Even though I do agree with getting rid of saddam but didn't support the war!)

If I recall correctly, around 17 other microbiologists working for quite high-up 'companies'/labs have been murder...erm, I mean, have committed suicide in the past few years. Kelly was among them. Again, if my memory serves me well, another occurred very recently!

Makes you wonder...

Just been reading the website links, and its scary that they are making these bombs

This is not a recent development. Before September 11, though, airport security was controlled by a handful of private security firms. If you had a complaint about it, you took them to court. Plain and simple.

Now that the TSA is a government entity, people get their rights violated (just like before) and now it's an international incident.

Way to go, Idaho.

I'd be quite pleased if I wasn't deprived (of) my drink. Especially while having to listen to you drivvel on.
