What a bunch of arrogant t***s they are - yet another reason I'll never set foot in their paranoid, benighted country again.

[RATTER15]

It wouldn't bother me to do so but I really have no desire to go there so I won't be worrying too much about it.

[murraymints]

EEK NO..I'd NEVER get in !!

[Mamyalynne]

I could be classed as a subversive late night DJ, no fear.

[Islay]

Yup wouldn't bother me!

[sunny-dave]

Careful with those B & D keys, mamya :-[]

They already overstep the reasonable mark before this is added to it. Much though I would like to be on good terms with the country and it's people, the government there seems to have a control complex, and so any good relationship will be a long distance one. If a country doesn't welcome guests as friends but sees and treats them as potential criminal types or those that need to have a tyrannical level of monitoring, then it a not a good place to visit.

Is AB not a q&a site rather than ' social media '?

[237SJ]

No. It is optional though which kind of defeats the object. Mind you, Kuwait want to take DNA samples from everyone

[EDDIE51]

They may be able to check your ID on FB but how would they do it on AB ?
Can they find if you are an AB member if you say you are not?

[murraymints]

AB not really social media.bit of anonymous banter and exchange of advice...but folks have been brought to justice and served time for comments on FB !!

[zebo]

Apart from AB, I'm not on any other social media, will it be held against me if I say None of the Above?

[ethandron]

Don't see a problem as I have nothing to hide or be ashamed about.
If a person wants to go to a particular country then they have to fulfil the entry criteria.

[Islay]

really Murray?

[Baldric]

They are most likely far more interested in me than I am in them, so no I wouldn't.

[237SJ]

I have been somewhere where the immigration card has asked for my email address (can`t remember where). I just left the section blank - simples

[murraymints]

yes Islay for racist comments and comments likely to cause an affray !

[Islay]

wow

[murraymints]

I had to tell oh's son off for making remarks that could be construed that way ...

[rockyracoon]

Are they gonna hack into everyone's profiles to have a gander or will you need to add them as a friend ;)

[Hypognosis]

Since AB is, inexplicably, run on servers based in the US (I forget who claimed that but I checked and they were right), don't they (US authorities) already have access to the email addresses we signed up with?

One ABer is also exceptionally keen on wishing people a happy birthday and knows everyone's DOB, so they will not have to work that hard to get that info too.
