I've had them question "all the entries in your passport showing visits to the Middle East". Hm, last time I checked, places like Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malasia, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, etc were in the FAR East, while Mexico and Canada are part of North America, and the others such as the UK, Germany, France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, etc are, well, not Middle Eastern countries. "Ah yes sir, have a nice day".OTOH all those entries in their computer helped when, on our way up the Baja/California coast by boat, I'd put my passport somewhere "safe" 3 months earlier and couldn't find it. My West-of-the Severn accent made it clear I wasn't born in the US, so they were insisting on either a passport or a US birth certificate. Then the officer took my driving licence, called his office, and said "You're in the computer and you're good to go. Have a nice day."</blockquote>
