"We are just here to ask you some questions Syed."
Said the younger, shorter man who introduced himself as Ryan. This other one said his name was Dave. "We are from the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Air Marshall Service." Badges flashed and taken away.
Its 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 28, 2011. I've just been put in an interview room with blood stains on the floor and clothes strewn around. I've been at the United States border, the Peace Bridge, since 4:45.
"I understand you are under house arrest, Syed."
"No, I am not."
"I see, why are you trying to enter the United States today, Syed."
I've already been interrogated by Customs and Borders Patrol, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, by plain clothes men that declined to introduce themselves and I am exhausted.
"Look as I told the last five people, I was arrested with 1,100 people during the anti-G20 protests in June 2010, and I am awaiting trial. My house arrest was lifted a month ago. My mom was diagnosed with cancer last week, she's just had surgery and I need to go see her. I am just here to go to the Canadian consulate, get a Canadian re-entry visa, so that I can get back into Canada on my way back from Pakistan. I have had my bail conditions changed to allow that. The embassy closes in 30 minutes, why am I being held here?"

I hear this of this type of thing going on all the time! Fascist thugs at the US border and airports molesting people. And our own Vichy government wants to play copy cat! All I can say is, if you can help it, don't cross the border! I mean, I don't get it- are these thugs who have a badge, a gun, or taser, so brainless, SO INSECURE, that they have to intimidate and brutalize? Do they not ever have a lightbulb go off in their vacuous skulls illuminating them to the fact that their very actions only rob themselves of freedom too?

If they hired thoughtful people..........well, they wouldn't have hired anyone. Take a gander at the types that Mussolini & Hitler recruited for their black and brown shirts.

I would have thought the 'left' would have appreciated Mussolini more for his flirtation with alternative fuels.

The right fell head-over-heels in "love" with what both Der Führer and Il Duce "accomplished" in Europe in the 30's. So no self-respecting "leftie" could possibly support Fascism.

Even if he did get the trains running on Thyme?

There are alternative routes to many countries which don't involve going thru the US
