While it is true that US is taking a lot of liberty of sacrificing some human
rights in the name of "security", I never felt been treated like a criminal
on my numerous visits to US. Most of the humiliating treatments are not

Better having the harddrive encrypted and an own backup on a private

But then, this risk goes for a lot of countries. The US Visa Process for
most european countries is on the plus side is transparent and quick.
