Maybe you should reread your own posts. I could easily ask you that question.

I'm not questioning if what you claimed really happened, I'm suggesting that perhaps the cause of what happened lies in you, not the immigration officials from several different countries. For the UK to question your right to travel with your child doesn't sound like just a rogue official being difficult. You posted multiple links to the State Department website about rules, and if you checked the page on entry requirements to the UK you'll see there is nothing about parental permission being required to enter the UK, so for an immigration official there to raise the issue suggests the official perceived some sort of red flag. Not every anomalous action by a government official is due to misconduct on their part.

Don't recall saying I "regularly" have problems with immigration officers.

I don't think CBSA officers asking for a permission to travel letter reflects on my conduct.

When I visited the UK, my daughter and I were traveling with her friend. I think I've already posted that several times.

I am not sure why you are so adamant that there is something wrong with me, or why you basically are insinuating that I'm lying?

Merely sharing my experiences. As always, the experiences of others may vary.

Or maybe it's just my shifty eyes and the gun in my purse that alerts them.

Another option is that it had nothing to do with your daughter but they use it as a 'hook' to gauge your reaction.

For the OP this is moot.

Russia and Canada have never given my family a material problem over such matters. Canada makes more effort, but then they tend to frequently give way to common sense and ditch any foolish notion that such letters are an effective easy way to prevent unlawful crossborder trafficking/abduction of minors
