For those OECD country-using passport holders not holding an EU passport, Germany is not home to the "toughest" immigration officers in the Schengen area, at least not if the idea of "tough" is the frequency of incidence of being questioned on arrival as a tourist. The female Swedish immigration officers are much "tougher".
