dear passport

didnt know you left ... oh yes they do ...

just because your crossing does not raise the entire gamut of events possible ... armed take down ... passports stamped ... series of difficult questions ... interview in cinder block room or the eligible girls taken for private session such as is eluded to in the movie Casablanca ... do not think that your country is unaware of your movement over the border ...

crossing into the usa ... vehicle will be xrayed and photographed from the front ... maybe even the back too ... it is very likely that even on a busy day your name will have been googled via your vehicle registration

and i heard an interesting story recently that indicated conversations of those who are in the line up are listened to ....

they are there and they are watching ... my paranoia is justified ... :) yours
