Americans are used to a policial state. Many people outside the US are not used to the police at your heels 100% of the time. Of course for local consumption people see themselves as 'land of the free' etc. but for many of us, foreigners, it is weird. You need to carry your passport at all times in the US. Your ID, drivers' license or other document is not good enough. It must be the passport. Moreover, security staff -when given free hand- act overzealous. Zagalo (assistant coach of the Brazilian national team) in a stopover in LA airport, had a INS staff seeing something wrong with his visa. He was taken to a cublicle for questioning: The guy asked: "Do you have a gun with you?" If you have had been in a possession of a firearm, inside an US airport, you would going to reply: "Yes, I've got this Magnum 357, strapped to my leg." Idiotic procedures such as this, is what make the security people of the US be the laughing stock of the world. of course other countries put some security measures, but we all know it is just pro-forma, no one takes that thing serious.
