WOW i am amazed this thread has generated so much interest.
i am sitting at the airport just passed thru immigration the whole process took me 10 minutes.
i went up to the desk and was sent for a second interview, expected this
when i went into the second interview room i sat there for approx 5 mins and was called up, the officer told me and i quote "i have to let you into the us" this is your first warning if you travel again without a us passport there will be a fine of $545.00. he then gave me back my docs and told me i am good to go.

Can you go back and try again, this time without the Naturalization Certificate?

Well as we all know, not all border control agents act the same given the same scenario (or depending on other factors, which side they got out of the bed on etc).
I'd say that it would be presumptuous to say that everyone would get one freebie.

I will instigate the mrfoxy76 award for 2010 for the person who can make it back the furthest on just a non US passport and the naturalization certificate. Proof required a photo boarding the aircraft showing passport and certificate and a letter from the CBP officer to say they were let in on those documents. Prize will be 2lbs of English sausages and a 1lb of best Danish bacon.

Might be but it encourages people to give it a try. This thread has been so much fun we need to see what can be achieved.

Go to Gitmo, straight to Gitmo, don't pass customs & don't collect bottle of Brown sauce.
"OK"

I'll match your bottle of HP sauce and see you a bottle of Branston Pickle and a tin Heinz Baked Beans.

I see you're playing dirty Frank. I'll raise you 6 packets of Walkers Cheese and Onion Crisps and 2 large packets of Twiglets.
