Customs in LAX

A scary experience I have had before.... It is hard to answer because it is difficult to frighten me like Heather. However, I ran into big trouble when I came in the USA. What was my trouble ?

When foreigners go though the customs after arriving at an airport in the USA, We are fingerprinted. Of course I did, but the machine didn't scan mine. So, customs examiners thought I was an illigal alian and took me to the another room!!! because the number of illigal alians is growing in California, but I seriously reckoned that I would be arrested at that time.Then they inquired into my birth and parentage!! "where are you from?" "why did you come to the USA?" They asked a lot of questions, and it was so tough for me to answer.It took about 2 hours to come out from that room!! I never foget this exprience.

I assume this was a scary experience, but I think this was a good experience because only a few people can exprience this. hahaha!! I am a positive thinker.

I agree! Something like this happened to me in Vietnam. The immigration people questioned me because my passport picture was old and I looked different. I didn't think they would let me out of the country.
