well clearly you will fit right in, but it's a slippery slope when governments start targeting groups of people who don't agree with their policies...

I found the border control people very professional, but that was twenty odd years ago, and memories were still raw from 9/11.
I do think though some have adopted a licence to inflict cruelty under this regime, and it pays to be wary, so the warnings are just sensible.
