Subject: Problems on Detroit Airport, in 2005, and with overhearding that I've been used as a 'target-guy'.
Hi,
I'm living in the UK, but since I'm a Norwegian citizen I thought I should contact the American embassy in Oslo.
The reason that I'm contacting you, are some problems with the U.S.immigration officers, when I went on a flight
from Frankfurt to Detroit, in 2005.
I was sent back to Europe.
To Oslo via Paris, with the reason that I didn't have a bond in Norway, so then I couldn't go on holiday, in the US.
Later, this year, I've been overhearing, that I've been used as a 'target-guy', in Liverpool, this year.
I was wondering, since the American Homeland Security, also withheld my suitcase, one extra day, on my way
back from Europe, with the excuse that the suitcase contained a lighter.
So I was wondering if the American government, has been using me, as a target-guy, in any way, after the mentioned
problems, on Detroit Airport, in 2005.
I'll enclose a scan, of what was written in my passport then.
I hope you have the chance to answer me on this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
