I think kappa's experience is what most of us have enjoyed either side of the Atlantic.

I, for one, have never had a problem with US Immigration.

Ah, well, there was the one experience going through the tunnel between Windsor ON and Detroit MI under code yellow when I was asked 'Why have you got a visa - have you a criminal record?'!!! I put it down to poor training.

And then entering Idaho from B.C. by road - I don't think they had seen a UK passport with a US visa before.

If you really want horror stories, I'll tell you about entry into the Soviet Union back in the 1980s.

Ah, fond memory ! Add Czechoslovakia as was, Bulgaria, East Germany ...
