[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heathrow is terrible. My wife and I  ( gay couple) flew with DD last summer ( she is AA and we are white). She has a passport and her last name is the same as my wifes, her middle name is my last name.
The Immigration person asked us for ger adoption certificate, I told him we didnt have it but she was our daughter, has passport etc. He said because she was a different race hes allowed to ask questions.
I was tired and hate flying so basically told him he was racist and that he should get a supervisor. I was livid.
He said that human traffiking is a problem, and i said "really, you have a lot of traffickers on flights from Washington with children with valid US passports" He couldnt really answer that.

I agree, UK immigration reps at the airport or train stations are rigid and crazy. I recently took the Eurostar from Paris to London, you go through immigration before you get on the train in Paris,  I was refused twice to get through for bogus reasons, finally I asked for a supervisor.  They said it was sketchy I was only going for 24 hours, they accused me of wanting to seek asylum.  But they let the rest of my family through?!  I said, you have US citizens seeking asylum in UK?! What?  Final,y after my kids screaming crying they let me through,  it was crazy.  All you need is one nutso agent, who is hard pressed to go against you on a technicality.  Get the letter, better safe than sorry.[/quote]
