Subject: DHS TRIP Attention: Control number 2040389/Fwd: Complaint.
Hi,
I'm sending an update to my complaint with you.
Like one can see, in the complaint I sent Lufthansa, there were some
problems with the Immgration/holiday form.
I wasn't given a form, by the Lufthansa-crew.
So I tried to find a form, in Norwegian or English, by the passport-control.
So I explained to the Detrot passport control staff, that I spoke Norwegian.
Then one of the staff, screamed to me, 'Sprechen sie deutch'.
But I have only picked up a bit of German, on holidays, so then I answered
'Nicht sehr gut', since I'm not used
with writing og reading in German, I'm only used with talking a bit German,
but not much at all.
I've never learned German in school, for instance, I've only picked up a few
words, on holiday in Switzerland,
and from my co-study abroad students, on University of Sunderland, in 2004.
So I was looking for an English form, since I've learned English at school,
or a Norwegian form, since these
are the only languages, that I've formally learned.
But I was given a French(!) form, by the airport staff.
I think they gave me the French form, in a way, to say that they thought I
was gay, since I didn't want to fill out a German form.
I overheard the staff, that asked me if I spoke German, talk about me, to
the other staff, that I spoke fluently German, but
didn't want a German form.
So I think they started fucking with me, because of this incident with the
form, and sent me back to Europe, and that the American Police, have in some
way been involved in that I've been used as a target-guy, like I've
overheard.
That's what I think.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

To:
lufthansa@lufthansa.deHi,
on 25. February 2005, I went on a flight from Frankfurt to Detroit.
On the flight, a Lufthansa officer, asked me which country I was from, and I
said Norway,
and then I wasn't given a US Imigration-form, like all the other passengers
got.
So then I got a bit of problems, in the passport-control, in Detroit, since
there weren't
any Norwegian or English forms there.
They asked me if I spoke German, but I only speak a bit German, that I've
learned
on holidays etc., so then I was given a French form, by the Detroit
passport-control
officers, when I explained them, that I didn't speak that much German.
And then, later, the Airport Police, refused me entry to the US, for some
obscure
reason.
And then they also told me, that I had to go back to Europe, but that
Lufthansa, didn't
want to help, with getting back to Europe.
So I was wondering about, and wanted to complain, about these things:
1. Why wasn't I given an imigration/holiday-form aboard the flight?
2. Why were Lufthansa unwilling to offer me a ticket back to Europe, (like
the Detroit Airport Police explained to me)?
I hope you have the chance to explain about these incidents, since I think
they were a bit strange.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
