I suppose you know the US has the exact same screening process in place for people traveling the other way, right?

 

"Let's see, middle eastern man coming to take flying lessons. OK, seems good".

 

"WHOA, WHOA! Where do you think you're going unemployed but apparently wealthy enough to buy airline tickets gal!? Go sit in that room until we can scrutinize you!"

#1, they check out the flight manifest before takeoff and before landing and go through the luggage too. Something didn't add up, and they stopped her.

 

#2, I had hugh issues getting through Heathrow last fall, had zero problems @ Gatwick, FWIW.

 

#3, I have a friend that recently flew back from Greece and got detained @ JFK over a $16,000 IRS bill from an estate settlement that she and her brother had not completely taken care between them and their stepfather from 2004. They put her @ Riker's Island for 5 days in a cell with a hooker and a crackhead going through withdrawals.

 

So, it could be worse.
