Hmmm their turf it's my home country too dammit! lol I understand there is a job to be done but it just seemed unnecessary at an extent. I will be happy if I'm not stopped I'm just not convinced that I wont have any issues the second time around. There was no talk about detaining me for 7 hours until I "expelled" anything it was straight to cavity searches..

My father was extremely annoyed .. because they sort of used him to feel out my story.

I had mentioned numerous times that my father and nephew of 5 years old were waiting for me to drive me home and that whatever they had to do could they do it so that I didnt have my young nephew waiting on me for hours on hours. I later found out that my very confused and nervous father who thought I didnt even make it on the plane home was called over a PA System in the airport to go to Immigration .. he was then pointed to a door that was an "out" only so he couldnt open it. He knocked. A woman came to the door .. he explained to her that he was called over the PA that he was waiting on his daughter Amanda. The woman told him the plane had just landed but that no one called him over the PA. He insisted that the plane had landed over an hour ago. She closed the door asking him to wait and had him wait 15 minutes on the other side of the door only to come back and tell him "Sorry sir no one called you over the PA system there must have been an error"

I do understand that as an adult there is a privacy issue that they are not legally allowed to tell my father why I'm being held but they could have said anything.. I lost my luggage something to ease his mind?

My father after hearing my story was livid and realized that they must have called him to confirm my story. But he had said that they did this an hour after the plane landed.. So they kept me another 1.5 hours after that.
