Yeah, to be clear, I wrote this up because it's unfortunate and weird, not to vilify folks at the Treasury Department who have an unenviably difficult job. I don't think this one false positive for me is a huge burden (and most of the inconvenience is due to my bank, not the Treasury Dept).
On the other hand, I know that the next time I'm coming back gone to the U.S. from abroad, especially being a brown dude with a beard who has family in Sourh Asia, I'm gonna have to deal with this. That was part of my reason for publishing it now.
- RawData 13y agoWhy NOT vilify the folks at the treasury? Why so polite?
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoDid you not read his second paragraph? It's right there.
- RawData 13y ago..and you think being polite is going to stop the powers that be from messing with him when he re-enters the country? Interesting...
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoIt's between the lines.
- anildash 13y agoBecause every effort like this will have false positives and I don't think it's meaningless overall. If my goal were to change policy, I'd have addressed this to my congressperson, and reached out to Treasury, not talking about it on HN.
