Re: anyone watching homeland security usa??
What I don't understand is when you go through customs etc you can't have a phone or camera on, which I assumed was to protect their identity, yet they go and put them on TV? How does that work then? I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on TV showing me taking someone's car full of drugs.
It seems a lot like to be seen on TV

You're in Tampa, most of the population there... well you could alternate between "You're thinking of dinner" and "you want a nap" and you'd be right 75% of the time.

For the rest I could use "you think you want another beer", or "you're wondering if you can jack your truck up any higher". You're right in what you're thinking now... yeah, "there's a profit to be made in that".

That show reminded me of the Airport TV series the BBC made at Heathrow.
I didn't like the attempted drama with the TSA employee getting all choked up. It went on too long and wasn't interesting. He just kept repeating himself and they just kept the camera on him until they got something.
The Swiss Miss was funny. 'Someone has to pay for the ticket' and 'I want to leave thisd place' was funny. She didn't seem o get it when the border guard told her she was going to a facility until her flight the next day. She probably thought facility meant hotel when it's really a jail. They should have followed her to jail and back.

Alright, somebody clue me in, tits aside, what was the gist of the story on the Swiss girl? Just clueless or some kind of malicious intent?

Just checked, KHQA is CBS and WGEM is NBC. No ABC for us.

It seems like she tried to say she was just visiting. They didn't believe her and sent her to the office. She then admitted that she was looking to work and they found her belly dancing clothes in her bags. She seemed clueless. She said she didn't want to stay in the office and claimed that someone had to pay for her ticket because she was out 1000 bucks or something. They sent her to a detention center overnight and flew her out to her country the next day.

Trying to enter on VWP with only 50 swiss francs and nothing on the form stating where she was going to stay. Moved to secondary inspection which is where the tv crew picks up the story. She was asked if she was going to work and she said she was. They inspected her bags, found a bunch of belly dancing clothes and asked her what her occupation was, she said belly dancer, they asked if she intended to dance for money, she says she wouldn't do it for free.
She ate a pot noodle and a cold burger.
Denied entry. Lots of trying to explain that she can't work on the VWP and can't use the VWP if she intends to work. She asked for a refund for her plane ticket. They put her on a flight back to switzerland the next day.
At no point did she flash her gams. She was quite pretty but dumb as a stump.
