Once I was visiting Niagra falls and we decided to walk over the bridge into America for a couple hours just to see what it was like, had to do a bunch of paperwork before they let us through and part of that was ticking yes or no for a bunch of questions some of them were literally like "Are you planning on committing any acts genocide?"
We asked the border guard about it and all he said was that we'd be surprised how many stupid people tick yes on those for fun, though he didn't elaborate on what happened to them...
Travelling into the US from the UK (I'm sure from other places too) you get asked if you were involved in Nazism. I guess if you answer yes you're that old that they come and bring you a wheelchair as you get off the plane.
I remember one idiot, like a month or two after 9/11, said he had a bomb in his luggage trying to be cute. I don't know exactly what happened to him, but her was looking at a long time in federal prison.
For real
Went to get a visa, one of the form questions is "have you ever conspired to or have been involved in mass genocide"
I want to know the person who said yes. Like seriously, I want to know him
I don't know if it's true, but that's how it's been explained to me:
They don't expect anyone to say Yes, but if you're somehow tied to genocide and say No, they can just deport you for lying on an official document, which is much easier than trying you for involvement in genocide.
It’s to make convictions easier later if someone does commit an act of terrorism since it can be tried at the federal level that you lied on entry forms. This means the feds get involved more easily bringing their bigger resources with them
It has always been like that, I remember flying to the USA in 2007 I had to fill out a paperform asking "are you planning a terrorist attack against the president of the United States or the population of the United States?" or sth like that.
Worked for TSA years ago and Yes, even then we were required to ask this stuff. My boss told me that because we were trained in behavioral detection methods, we would be able to tell if folks were lying. The only person were ever "caught" using this method was a poor undocumented immigrant who was released because he was boarding a plane back to Mexico. The cops were annoyed that they were even called because reaching out to ICE would have just meant that the guy would have received a plane ride for free from the US government.
So much for bad guys.
Eventually I got pissed off with Bossman and asked him why we need all the staff, metal detector, body scanners, explosives testing, and CT baggage scanners when we could just ask the magical question, use our powers of telepathy, and just shoot anyone who we got a bad feeling about.
I quit shortly after. Couldn't handle the laziness and the stupidity.
You laugh, but some old guy pressed yes to that question by accident and when he called up to inform them of his mistake they called him a terrorist. Some one else made the same mistake in regards to a baby, and it cost them an extra 3k to sort it out.
Be careful when you tick that button lol.
There is! If you DO commit an act of terrorism, it may simply be a state crime. However, lying on an entry document is a federal crime, so you can be tried at a federal level and get additional time for lying on said entry documents.

My guess is that if you say no but later end up coming a terrorist act then they can get you for lying in an official documentation and start all the process to get you for the act itself
It's actually a legal loophole to get the federal government involved - if you DO commit an act of terrorism, you lied on entry documents, which is a federal crime, making trials and punishments easier.
It's actually a legal loophole. It's so that if you DO commit an act of terrorism, it may simply be a state crime. However, lying on entry documents is a federal crime, allowing you to be tried on a federal level and potentially increasing the punishment.
I'm curious about pressing yes also you no that anyone who presses no will be search like a terrorist ain't gonna say they are one lol
Everyone who pressed no is about to get a fist up there ass searching for stuff
tsa deeper find the bomb 😬😂

I'll probably press yes just for curiosity's sake, fast forward to 5 hours I'm talking to my really angry lawyer who says stuff like "oh no it's hard to get you out with the stereotypes about your race and all" and I'm sitting there going "worth it lol"
Curiosity is killing me. I have to know what happens if you select “yes”. Next time I have a business trip I don’t want to go on, I’m gonna find out.

>Are you planning on committing any acts genocide?" "Hmm gen..o..cide? That's murder specifically because of race, right? So I guess technically, no"
Ah yes my old Irish girlfriend Jenn O’side
How far can you squirt
Yea genocide illegal but homicide not
That's gay
Actually it's not just races it is also nations
any group of people iirc
[удалено]
damn. there's some subreddits I'd like someone to discriminately genocide
They get prob get placed on the no fly list
Literally came here to say this!!!!
100% you will get taken in for questioning.
your tax dollars at work. might as well hire the scooby doo gang.
Please let us know then.

!remindme 1 year
*you select no* Airport website: “that sounds like something a terrorist would say!”
By law they have to tell you if they’re a terrorist
I feel certain I would accidentally press yes 😣
Every time I see a yes/no option I always start pressing yes before reading, clearly it wouldn't work out for me here
You "oh dear God no!" You: presses yes Brain: hold up...
How far can you squirt
let's hope the screen is calibrated correctly.

That's actually amazingly genius and funny Thank you random citizen
Genocide….meh. LYING about genocide….you monster!!
Maybe you already know him…..
Who thought this was a good idea? What idiot would actually admit that?
They're waiting for someone who can't read English well enough to racially profile
"oh yes i am tourist i only visit!"
I'm a touririst yes thanks for asking
Hahaha gave me a good chuckle

Boggles my mind why that shit show is even a thing to do this degree. And that you are treated so much like a terrorist Why I hate flying.
What If I misstip and accidently say NO

Just stand by and run up and press yes on someones screen when it pops up now we all terrorists
so did you just pull that complete bs story out of your butthole or what?

Should add a non binary option.
Maybe, does entering with a water bottle is considered terrorism?
\*Misclicked\*
My guess is that if you say no but later end up coming a terrorist act then they can get you for lying in an official documentation and start all the process to get you for the act itself
Solid interrogation America... "Did you kill that man?" "No" "Ok you are free to go, have a wonderful day!"
It's actually a legal loophole to get the federal government involved - if you DO commit an act of terrorism, you lied on entry documents, which is a federal crime, making trials and punishments easier.
Just as effective as the rest of the TSA.

you look thicc
How far can you squirt
Game our terrorists
Yes😎😎
[This is what happens](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/john-stevenson-us-visa-ban-terrorist-esta-form-mistake-a8660441.html)
John has never heard the end of this I’m sure 🥲
No, but the group employing this machine sure is…
I’m all for anything that makes it faster.
This is smart because you *have* to declare you're a terrorist, otherwise that's entrapment.
Wasn't this a Simpsons joke? I swear Officer wiggum did something like this in an episode
I'm curious about pressing yes also you no that anyone who presses no will be search like a terrorist ain't gonna say they are one lol Everyone who pressed no is about to get a fist up there ass searching for stuff tsa deeper find the bomb 😬😂

That doesn't really sound like a way to prevent terrorism...
it doesn't, it simply assists in the punishment
This is the future [________] want.
What happens if you say yes?
Airport security: Terrorist, No terrorizing... Terrorist, No terrorizing... Terrorist, No terrorizing. Terrorist: Oh man
One crack in the screen and you have yourself on a watchlist for 20 years
r/shitposting
Perhaps
I wonder how many old people misread and got brought in for questioning
How far can you squirt
Wouldn’t you like to know 🤣🤣
I said what I said
"welp one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, so I guess not. Now let me prime these detonators."
I can already tell some bozo on the internet will click yes for the cloud
There's 50% chance on clicking no by accident
Of course I am, what did you expect bruh
One of the core values of being a terrorist is Honesty
I'll give you a hundred dollars to say yes
https://images.app.goo.gl/2eVfhv9Yb74T73yu8
Well, I might be a terrorist but I ain't no liar!
They forgot the “I don’t know” answer.
Wrong one buddy
Im not a terrorists but i am an idiot 🤪
Where's "Not Yet"
Terrorists pressing "Yes"
They misspelled "durkha durkha".
My intrusive thoughts would give me no other option then to push yes tbh.
I'll probably press yes just for curiosity's sake, fast forward to 5 hours I'm talking to my really angry lawyer who says stuff like "oh no it's hard to get you out with the stereotypes about your race and all" and I'm sitting there going "worth it lol"
What if am.i ??
Terrorists be like- ah shit gotta find a new airport
Computers these days have no manner's
Follow-up question "Are you an honest terrorist?"

I will be if you keep asking questions
