I've entered sovereign countries in which I do not hold citizenship many,many times in my life.Countries as mundane as Canada...as exotic as Kenya...and as beautiful,exciting and compelling as Australia.

Not once did I enter any of them in a way that violated their laws.Not once did I violate any of their visa restrictions.Not once did I overstay a visa,work when forbidden to do so or steal anyone's identity in order to fool their Immigration officials.Not once did I attempt to get government funds because of "poverty" (or for any other reason).

If I had ever done any of those things I would have expected to be arrested,tried,convicted,imprisoned and deported when my sentence was complete.

But that's just me I guess.

I have a similar experience and have traveled to many places. The scariest time I ever had was once in Munich, Germany. The customs guy took my passport with my return plane ticket and frowned. He then waved over three other agents and pointed at my passport in several places each time with the stern look and disapproving tone. After about five minutes of this he returned my “papers”, said “You may proceed” and I gathered my self and exited the lane. I immediately ran into a clearly high ranking guy with two guards with MP-5’s leveled at me. The guy smiled and said in perfect British English that he was sorry for the delay but I was a perfect subject to conduct a training exercise with some new officers and he said the German Government thanked me for my patience and he hoped that I had a pleasant stay in Germany. The two guards expedited my baggage trough inspection and then walked me to the transport area.

I wasn’t sure if I should be annoyed or just happy it was over.
