Mem Fox, Australian author, won't go back to US after being detained

A friend of mine was denied entry into the US after having travelled there a few times. Since there was no return flight the same day, and the airport was closing overnight, he had to spend the night in a cage (they call it detention center, but it is a cage), where he was raped (they call it body cavity search, but it is penetration without consent, and therefore rape). We he returned the next day, he was <i>actually</i> traumatized.<p>Two hours of questioning is nothing in comparison, and the &quot;I felt like I was physically assaulted&quot; line when there was no actual assault makes me sick. Actual assaults happen all the time, people from supposedly friendly nations are routinely treated like animals, and nobody even receives a letter of apology.

Ahh, the good old days, when the worst thing about being &quot;randomly selected&quot; three times in a row was slight annoyance and delays as they went through your baggage... now they&#x27;re into full-jackboot mode.<p>Note this writer is white and &quot;anglo&quot;; but her books support respect among the different and a melting-pot worldview, so she&#x27;s a dangerous subversive and worth of intimidation.<p>Dark times.

It&#x27;s been this while for quite some time if you have &quot;Muslim&quot; names. &quot;I&#x27;m sorry, my computer&#x27;s stopped working. Please come this way.&quot;<p>And yup being sixty or seventy isn&#x27;t going to help you. Perhaps new rules have made this common (I don&#x27;t know) but this is how American border personnel are. It&#x27;s fairly well known among the affected communities.

Simply incredible.<p>She got a &#x27;charming&#x27; apology letter only because she&#x27;s famous and the US got caught with its pants down. To think that this happens every day to people without a platform.

I&#x27;ve met her a few times. There is nothing remotely threatening about her. Pull your heads out of of your arses, America.

The Decline and Fall. American refugees welcome here. I can&#x27;t remember what was it that made the possum visible again?

Maybe it is just me (and I am not mother tongue English speaker) but this:<p>&gt;&quot;I thought: &#x27;How can human beings treat other vulnerable human beings in this fashion, <i>in public, in full view of everybody</i>?&#x27;<p>Somehow makes me think that the same things if done privately and not in public could even be admissible?
