Every time I visited the US I noted a complete absence of common sense.
Every time I visited the US I noted a complete absence of common sense.
But only when entering the US I have been asked for example: Do intented to engage in illegal activity?

Similarly to how you are supposed to pay taxes on income of illegal activities, if they find stacks of cash in your house it becomes easier to convict you.
They are weird laws but have their uses (good or bad)
