I am horrifed to learn of a Brit who arrived at Detriot and arrived on the VWP. The officer stamped him for entry for 90 days.

He collected his luggage and was searched at customs. They found a packet of cigarette papers and nothing else. They then took him and stripped searched him. for the full story take a look at http://www.expatsvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5080

So, my question is, have you or anyone else you know been badly treated at the POE? If so please pm me as we are contacting the TV stations and they are interested in telling peoples stories.
 
Maybe you should get over it. Unless you know this person, you have no idea if he was on some type of watch list. I have been all over the world, and by far, the US treats visitors better than most places. It could be that a drug dog hit on his baggage, or they were worried that his body contained drugs inside it.

I assume this happened at Detroit airport?(DTW)

I was treated very disrepectfully, when I drove from Windsor back to Detroit in a car. My experience was with the US CBP agents. I do not object to being questioned or have the vehicle searched, but I genuinely felt like I was treated worse than a common criminal.
 
I would assume that they had some other reason to detain and deny him entry to the States. If it was some sort of targeted, I'm wondering is your friend's son a visible minority, or racial biased incident I think he may be able to bring a law suit against the authorities. It's just my opinion, but I wouldn't get too overwrought about it since word of mouth is not such a reliable source. Better to wait and get the official story.

What does it matter if it is more than 2 years old.
This kind of stuff is still going on.

What about human dignity?
