I am about to finish a 10,000 mile quest all around America. From Seattle to Detroit to Columbus to Boston. Now I'm on the way back. It's been a pretty strange trip. I started this journey to go visit a student in Toronto. When I get to the Detroit/Canada border, they grilled me and my girlfriend hard. They wanted to see chat logs with me and him. We mainly chatted on skype and snapchat. I thought this would be perfectly fine, until she said she wanted to make sure I was not working in canada. I knew if she read our logs, she would see I was his teacher and I would be denied entry. So, I tell her that I can't find his skype account (I have 3000 contacts on skype) and she gets kind of pissy. I tell her we chat day to day via snapchat.
Here's where my I start having a panic attack. One cop comes out of the back. I've already unlocked and unencrypted my laptop to show skype logs. She grabs the laptop and tells me to sit down. She and two cops, are then scouring through my laptop. Oh Shit! I have so much incriminating shit on there if they looked at the wrong skype logs or checked my email. I have no kill switch. I'm fucked, I'm totally fucked. I sit there for 30 minutes next to my boyfriend, scarred shitless. I literally was explaining how to sell my bitcoin to bail me out of jail. Shitting bricks, nearly pissed myself
They call my name back over. There is a moment of silence. She's reading me, I'm reading her. She hands me my laptop back. I don't think she found anything. I tell her she can call my buddy. She does, and he accidentally says I'm being paid, lol... Denied entry.
At least I still have my freedom. Fuck that was close. Also fuck the police, really though
