Very bad news: I have been in detention for the last two days, trying to get into the US from Canada. I have been rejected on the basis of apparently being a spreader/carrier of `obscene and communist political extremist` material (total bullshit) based on the following:

  • T-shirts: Feindflug `Volk und Armee`, Combichrist `Enjoy the Abuse`, one depicting a Kolasjnikov gun and some rockabilly shirts by Monster & Felon.
  • CD`s: Suicide Commando, Leaetherstrip `Suicide Bombers` and two Laibach CDs.
  • Lyrics sheet of Grendel. Didn`t include the band name or titles, so they probably thought it was speech or something.
