My niece (very Catholic) is getting married to Mohammad (Very Muslim)

Oh dear the shame of it all :-D As I only have 3 nieces and 1 of them is already married, I am sure the agent who is listening in can figure one which one of them it is. But don't worry I'm sure his cancer will get him before too long now, so that will be one less you will have to worry about.

They can follow me as much as they like, if they find me that interesting I have nothing to hide so don't really care :-D

..at least 'they' can't follow me very often.
I have a tablet - that I use when I'm on holiday, the rest of the time, my 'searching' is done on a PC, with largish monitor and keyboard, in the corner of the room, on my g gran's old sewing table :-D

One of the glories of not having a 'smart' phone.
I only make/accept calls and text people on my very cheap pay as you go :-D :-D :-D

Lucky I am not a criminal then. I took my phone as other half took his no interest in either. Interesting that the Americans we met were more interested in the UK and royal wedding than their idiot leader.

Don't take even your phone!

NO electrical gadget that allows social media contact at all ............ laptop, cell phone, tablet, etc etc

Not only can they search them all, but they have the right to KEEP all the information that they want, and I don't think they have to tell you what they have kept.

It's also not worth your while deleting your contact list, postings, messages etc, because they have ways and means of going into your phone and finding the records. Criminals know how to do a real clean out, I certanly don't!!


You can always buy a cheap phone at the loonie store!

That's what the real criminals do. :-D

Well I stand no chance, not only are my opinions of him ( and his mates) immediately evident in conversations on FB but I've also looked into his mother's family tree :-)

We had no problem entering Vegas and Hawaii in Feb this year and I have been very vocal on the net over the years. "That" wall is coming on now :-|

As it stands I'll not be allowed to take any electrical gadget other than my phone in hand baggage so they will have a problem ;-)

Caroline Report 8 Apr 2017 14:21

My ESTA was issued a month ago. Takes 5 mins max.

Doesn't mean I will not be nervous at immigration - even though I will try to not look guilty of anything..lol

As a 'rider' to the free speech, If anyone is offensive etc to me, or anyone else I feel it's in the interest of free speech to reply in the same manner :-D :-D :-D
