I've thought and thought and thought over the past two days and finally decided to go ahead and post on this topic.
The guy is obviously a moron and likes to think he is a little bit special and above the law. For further proof, look at his ranting about the Giant Foods fiasco. If I rolled into a US airport and had a pocket knife, but they wouldn't let me on the plane with it, should I stomp and scream and throw a fit? Of course not. Those are the rules. No knives on airplanes. If I tried to get into Saudi with a stack of Penthouse magazines in my duffel bag, I'd get thrown in jail. But, but, but, those are legal in America!!! Come on man. This was on your bucket list and you planned for 5 freaking years but you couldn't take time to check if pepper spray was legal!? Not only is it illegal, it would be like open carrying a pistol into a kindergarten in the US! Then bitched when it got taken away from you and you didn't get it back!!?! I'm thinking that the OP in the referenced post was a little bit hostile/bitchy towards the border guards. Don't **** off the people guarding the border!! Jeez man.
Think US border guards are not nice? Try Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi, Iraq, generally anyone who pretends to like the US so we will continue protecting/paying them.
