School, doctor, home, job, taxes etc. that should leave a "paper" trail that can be looked up by officials.

  There is no system for doing this, and I would not expect passport officials to be able to look up tax and medical records at the point of entry!

    > I would not expect passport officials to be able to look up tax and medical records at the point of entry Then you’ll be clearly surprised if you knew what all they can access crossing the border.

      Do you have a citation for the claim that border agents can access tax or medical records?

        Apologies for the slow response, was trying to find a source, but haven’t found one. My comment was based on personal experience of going through secondary inspection with border agents in various countries. All of the FVEY countries share a frightening amount of information with each other’s border agents. I’m not specifically claiming they have medical records, but literally anything that is in a government database (I’m not being hyperbolic there, just prefer not to be specific as to what I’ve been shown on their screen that I felt they had no right to know) is accessible to them if the agent wants and knows how.
