A 90 minute delay by immigration because someone didn't bring the right paperwork is not the same thing as being imprisoned.

No kidding. I've been delayed just about that same timeframe coming back into Chicago while having the right credentials with a foreign greencard holding spouse. Turns out the media didn't ask me for my story.
