They sometimes don't deliver mail if they can't verify that they are putting the letter in the right box. It's been a cause of great frustration for me in the past.

]]> Comment on US Customs Does Not Allow Conference Speakers?? – My Experience by Brenda http://www.lyndseo.com/2010/01/us-customs-does-not-allow-conference-speakers-my-experience/comment-page-1/#comment-75 Brenda Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:30:48 +0000 http://www.lyndseo.com/?p=459#comment-75 I went through the very same type of ordeal, held for 6.5 hours interogated by 4 officers (with huge egos) they were nothing short of being rude, intimidating bullies. For over 11 years I would cross the border, into the US from BC, Canada...never a problem. One day I was the lucky winner of the random check. My car was search with a dog, my purse taken away, my body padded down, then yelled at, screamed at with finger pointed in my face, the supervisor was accusing me of trying to live in the us, because I wore gold band on my thumb, he accused me taking my wedding band off my ring finger and placing it on my thumb. I urged him to try to take that ring off my thumb, it won't come off without being cut, I've worn it there for almost 7 years. I had proof of all Ties and Equity with me. Nothing I said was believed, once they decide to make you a criminal you will remain flagged. It has been over 9 months since that day I was escorted out, denied entry, and to this day when I go back through, I am held for at least 2 hours while they dissect every piece of paperwork I show them in my Ties and Equity package. To my knowledge there is not re-course. Land of the Free, is a JOKE, the USA should keep putting that wall of china up, and keep themselves in, including Wallmart. Yes, I'm pissed. I'm tired of the red tape, tired of the bullies, and frankly it's not wonder the American government is disliked so much. Do you know that in the codes, it states, every officer has the right to use HIS own discretion, and you CAN NOT object or get what he writes in your file changed EVER!!!

I've crossed several times in and out of Calgary from the US and it's always a pleasure to get there, and painful to return. Nothing like having your suitcase contents homogenized. Bruce Schneier posted this video from the RMR on his website lately...perhaps consider it fair warning? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZfbTlYpKYo Lyndsey,

I have seen a few people get hassled when they said they were going to a conference in a Pub before, but nothing like your case. If a letter of support from conference chairs would help, I am sure we could round up several ;-) Brett Lyndsay, I have never heard of this before.
