I hope you've been watching 'Tonight with Trevor McDonald' tonight to learn about the utterly paranoid lunacy of the way Uncle Spam treats innocent tourists who've been wrongly tagged as a threat to their country by some corrupted computer record or other.

I would think very seriously about whether you want to run the risk of being treated as a 'terrorist' by the Americans if their idiot computers screw up. Wild horses wouldn't get me to the 'Land of the Free' for any reason whatsoever.

Much easier to do your PPL in a land which doesn't treat tourists as terrorists.......

The Foreign Office has over 100 cases pending concerning tourists treated unreasonably by American Customs and Immigration.
