Amerika paranoid efter 9/11?

Hey guys and girls! It has been a couple of days since we arrived in San Francisco but the whole trip has got to be on the blog. That is why we want to write about the experience of arriving in the U.S. as a non-Citizen, and how their safety measures are kind of extreme compared to what we are used to in Denmark, in the first post on the blog.
First of all it should be mentioned that the safety in the U.S. airports are top notch. We felt that ourselves when we arrived in San Francisco. The first part of the safety rutine involves taking prints of every finger you want to bring into the country. Then they take a foto of you with a small webcam, and ask you about what intentions you have with your visit to the country. We also had to have been previously approved by ESTA which involves, saying that you are not a rapist, a terrorist and that you have not been involved with espionage or nazi-Germany and if that wasn´t enough we got handed a list on the plane where we should write if we had something in our luggage that could damage their ecosystem, like snails, meat or dirt. Who brings dirt in their luggage..? Oh well, at least not us, and we didnt run into problems on our journey through the airport security. But there were others who did. The danish-brazilian beauty from 1.d, lived in Mexico with her Family as a child. They often went to the U.S. but the Young and clumsy Isabella accidentally threw her important papers away, so she from that day on, from the border patrols database point of view, never left the U.S. We (the editorial department) will, however, point out that we do not blame Isabella for this and that we are sure that everyone that age could make such a mistake. This has caused her a lot of trouble everytime she enters the U.S. and this time was no exeption. Linda had therefore prepared us, and said that we could expect several hours of waiting time. We were very sad when we saw 5 big, Black, bald men carrying her into the backroom. To our amazement, it only took 8,5 minute before she was back so we could proceed our trip to Adelaide hostel in San Francisco. We are convinced, that it is Isabellas charm, beauty and brazilian accent that made her avoid a questioning. To round off, we would like to conclude that the safety of the U.S. is safer than what safe is and we would like you to think hard about the title of the post.

P.s. We spoke with Isabella today, monday, and she told us she is single (and ready to mingle).
