Sorry, I didn't want to make fun of your effort and beeing on the safe side is always good.

Why I said "typical America"

- In Europe we have a view of America where you can get sued for anything.

- Since 9/11 America has very strange laws about travling. (I had to fill out more then one form asking me if im a Nazi or if I knew one)

Who required these forms? I have traveled many times within and without the US and have never seen such a form, nor heard from anyone who has.

The Airlines. When you are at the Airport to pass on your luggage. The give you some forms to fill out. Then you have to give these to somebody befor you get to pass on your luggage. The nice lady then Ask you questions like: "Have you every left your bags unwatched? (That was on the form allready)".

Made the line 2x slower then it had to be. Made me not wanting to go back to Amerika anymore.

I remain unconvinced. Perhaps I'm being overly skeptical, but I'm just not buying that any "Airlines" forms require that you out your political affiliation, or knowledge of anyone IN a particular one.
