Why does taking ten prints rather than two trigger such a reaction? I've been trying to talk them into visiting here for years. They were already leery about US border procedures and this is just one more obstacle. I'll try to convince them that after they get past the border nazis, they'll find this to be a very friendly and welcoming country, which it is.. I travel outside the US frequently and you wouldn't believe what a bad reputation that US embassies and border and Customs agencies have in other countries. I've experienced some of it myself, all the way back to the 1970's, rude and arrogant attitudes by personnel from these outfits who make atrocious ambassadors to be presenting the face of the USA to the world. Once again, slowly killing international tourism, which they're doing in more ways than just this example, while blithely ignoring the massive and ongoing influx of illegals, is just plain stupid. Period.
