"There are nearly 100 pages of long, detailed complaints in the document
[PDF] turned over by the DHS in response to the Knight Institute's' FOIA
request. The incidents detailed are troubling, seemingly going beyond
what's needed to actually secure the nation's borders. Multiple
complaints show intrusive searches and questioning are routine, even if
the destinations traveled to are equally routine."

One reason I stopped visiting the US some time ago.

Cheers,
