    You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules.

    You may be arrested by men without badges in plain clothes for almost any reason… This is normal there. So perhaps just don’t go.

      First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out “American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!”.

      I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I’ll never set foot in the US again.
