The flight attendant handed us our envelopes containing our passports and told us not to open them. We walked, unescorted, to the immigration office. As the officer looked at the envelopes he said that we needed to be classified orange….I have no idea what that meant, but it didn’t sound good. He then changed that and said “wait a minute, you guys are American citizens, let me hurry up and get you guys on your way”. Finally, <STRONG>FREEDOM!</STRONG> He asked us why we had been denied entry and we explained to him the entire terrible situation. He explained, “we have a reciprocal agreement between the <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>UK</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> and us, they should have never done this to you”. I wish it had been him at the <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>UK</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> customs center instead of the moron that we dealt with. We were then sent on our way back home.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/89C5BD14-1671-4132-B46C-F21141191765/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
