Hi all,
This will be my first Defcon and words cannot describe my excitement and anticipations. However, seeking my ESTA visa thingie I basically waivered any trace of rights I had left; US customs can deny me entry for any reason--or none at all--and from what I've heard they aren't afraid of having people in for interrogation. They will also take my photo, fingerprints and in case I'm denied entry I'm going to have to pay my return ticket out of my own pocket.
So how do I act if I get taken into interrogation? Will I be OK saying I'm going to Defcon or will I be considered harmful for the nation's security? Will I be OK demanding an interpreter? Will I be OK refusing to give out the login details for my laptop? I take it they don't like cockiness, and though I absolutely detest authority figures, I will try to be as humble, open and obliging as I can possibly manage.
I'm from Northern Europe so I might not fall into the prototype terrorist figure, but still I'd like some accounts of firsthand experience, if any. Thanks, and see y'all at Defcon.
