    I feel bad, because it is horrific and deeply concerning, but I lose it every time I see that picture in relation to this story. Something about the absurdity is absolutely perfect. I hope that tourist really did smile through the tears after seeing it again.

    I'm not on the inside track on this, but it may be for biometric cataloguing of persons denied entry, or even something so simple as testing for drugs, but couldn't say 100% what U.S. immigration agents have been legally entitled entitled to since 9/11.

    Did OP ever unintentionally attempt to visit a foreign country? Like get on the wrong plane by accident?
