One needs to be extremely careful with this. If, between the plane and
immigration, you purchased cream filled donuts or pastries, your fingers will be full of cream. The USA will then record your fingerprints as "cream puff filling" and anyone who has eaten similar pastries will be able to steal your identity. Furthermore, if a previous person who also ate the same pastries and then abused his stay in the USA, the second you put your pastry-filled finger on the scanner, the USA will send in the machine-gun armed troups to arrest and detain you and you will be accused of 2 crimes: overstaying during a previous visit, and impersonating someone else since your passport does not match the passport when you preveiously entered the USA with the same fingerprints. |

What, being crippled with the fear of a trivial, overhyped flu variant that kills fewer people in a year than traffic accidents do in 15 minutes? miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |
