Hi,
thank you very much for your answer!
If I wanted some answers, to the questions that you haven't answered,
regarding that there
were several peculiar incidents after I was sent back to Europe, who should
I contact then
you think?
I've overheard, like I've written, that I've been used as a
target-guy.
I was sent to Oslo, but via Paris, even if there had been written
something in my passport.
I think that I shouldn't have been sent first to Paris, France, then,
from the USA, since
it was something that you had written in my passport.
What if I had been refused enterance, in France, due to what was
written in my passport.
What would have happened then, I guess they would have sent me back to the
USA then.
And what with the suitcase, why whould you hold it back, on my way back to
Europe, for
one extra day, to search it, since it was a lighter in the suitcase.
Who do you think I should contact, if I wondered more on these
questions?
Thanks in advance for the reply!
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Problems on Detroit Airport, in 2005, and with
overhearding that I've been used as a 'target-guy'.
Hi,
I'm living in the UK, but since I'm a Norwegian citizen I thought I
should contact the American embassy in Oslo.
The reason that I'm contacting you, are some problems with the
U.S.immigration officers, when I went on a flight
from Frankfurt to Detroit, in 2005.
I was sent back to Europe.
To Oslo via Paris, with the reason that I didn't have a bond in Norway,
so then I couldn't go on holiday, in the US.
Later, this year, I've been overhearing, that I've been used as a
'target-guy', in Liverpool, this year.
I was wondering, since the American Homeland Security, also withheld
my suitcase, one extra day, on my way
back from Europe, with the excuse that the suitcase contained a
lighter.
So I was wondering if the American government, has been using me, as
a target-guy, in any way, after the mentioned
problems, on Detroit Airport, in 2005.
I'll enclose a scan, of what was written in my passport then.
I hope you have the chance to answer me on this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
