Where have you been this trip?
Cuba and México.
Did you travel with a license from the State Department?
On the advice of attorneys, I decline to answer that.
You do know youre not allowed to go there without a license?
On the advice of attorneys, I decline to answer that.
Did you buy any Cuban products?
On the advice of attorneys, I decline to answer that.
Thus we were coached to answer any question not on the standard U.S. re-entry questionnaire, which is limited to what countries we visited, whether we have farm products, and such. We, the members of the U.S.-Cuba Friendshipment organized by Pastors for Peace (PfP), had just committed civil disobedience, having openly defied a travel ban that carries the potential penalties of ten years in prison and a quarter-million-dollar fine, publicly refusing to apply for a license, even refusing one when it was offered in a previous year.

I guess you weren't too terrified by the scary "police state," then. Right wing maggots are still trying to push that whopper off on the unsuspecting.
Thanks, so much, for your comment.
Welcome to D.U.
