| Message | Only last week I was refused entry into the USA after several visits. I refused to disclose the private details and names of the friends I was visiting. I understand that there is a need to protect every nations security but I also believe that every person has a right to travel freely around the world. I am an everyday person with a belief that everybody has a fundamental right to privacy. I was told that my friends would be contacted to verify my reasons for visiting the USA and find this absurd. I was honest, I could have said I was a tourist and there would be nothing to check. Because I was honest, I was subjected to the most intimidating and degrading interview of my entire life. I love the American way and I love American citizens so much. What I will say is that the Homeland Security Officer who interviewed me was nothing short of insulting and small minded. He was lacking in intelligence and has done nothing to promote the country of which he should be so proud to be a citizen. I will visit the USA again because I belive in my rights but the US must take huge steps to ensure that their allies are given a right of free passage in and out of their country and the immigration officials are correctly trained in the art of human kindness. I am an honest law abiding citizen of the UK running my own business and working hard for what I have. The questioning that I was subjected to was inappropriate and uneccesary ! One day the shoe will be on the other foot ! [Peter says: Hey Gerald! Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear about your trouble. I think more people should, like you, refuse to give private details. There is a line to be drawn between security and privacy. I do not think that line is in the right place, in the US.] |

| Message | Wonderful but sad story. Job Description for US Immigration Officers: No brains or initiative need. No discretion allowed. Just follow orders and you will be rewarded with a banana. Career progress is based on the number of banana's collected. [Peter says: Hey Peter! Good to see you here... Keep safe in Afghanistan! :-) ] |

| Message | Hi Peter, very inspiring your "sabbaticals" and apparently dramatic changes in your "career" life, no big changes in your way of life though. Just one tip for a world citizen, don't miss Peruvian food in this life! cheers Ernesto [Peter says: Hi Ernesto! Long time no hear.... Yep, I should not forget Peru or South America for the matter! Have not had the privilege to visit much there.. Only the Falklands and two days of Chile!.. One day!!! Thanks for dropping by!] |

| Message | Hi Peter, if you don't get any visitors from China, here you can see why: www_greatfirewallofchina_org Don't worry, my site is blocked as well  (replace _ by . in the url, guestbook seems to block this message otherwise) [Peter says: Hi Jurgen... Hmm that is why I don't get any visitors from China anymore... Censorship is a sad thing.. Maybe on some forums I have been too outspoken about the role of China in Sudan and the Darfur crisis... :) ] |

| Message | Hallo, Ik heb je site juist ontdekt, een vriend van me vroeg of ik je kende omdat hij een link gevonden had naar mijn blog, of mijn foto's gezien had. Zeker geen probleem hoor, maar ik wil gewoon kennis maken, da's alles. Verblijf je nog in Kinshasa momenteel ? Stuur me mail, kunnen we eens afspreken als je dat wil... Peter PS : Heb je een Tom Casier in de familie ? Hij is C130 piloot bij de BAF [Peter says: nice to meet you, Peter. more via email!] |
