exit passport control
Went to Munich for the weekend, and I got preety quizzed at outgoing passport control as to what I'd been doing in Munich for the weekend. Truthfully told the agent that I'd been seeing my GF. But given his intrusiveness, I wanted to tell him that I'd been visiting his mom.
US, of course, have no outgoing passport control, and given the real possibility in Europe that folks will exit from a country other than the entry point, what gives with this intrusiveness - when I'm on my way out?
