Right, there is no way for me to know if I have not violated US law.

 MvdV>> For all I know *you* might be a policemen posing as a harmless

In itself reason enough to stay away from the US. Their LEO's do not operate
with an open visor.

 MvdV>> I am not taking the risk, you guys can not be trusted.

Am I? I did not solicit sex with a minor, but I have written so many other
things. He, these paranoids over there could even label me a terrorist over
some of the things I have said. I prefer not to end up in Guantanomo Bay...

Or someone who is sufficiently pissed off with me could frame me to make it
look like I was...

So thanks, but no thanks, I will avoid the US.

Cheers, Michiel
