US Travel Advice

If you enter the US and somebody wants your password for your account on a social network, just say: "I forgot". Worked for Reagan.

What are they going to do if you say you don't have an account?

If they believe you, then the rule is pointless. Any potential undesirable will deny having any social media accounts.
If they don't believe you, then you have to create and maintain an account on every major social network before travelling. Preferably several years before travelling, with regular posts so that it doesn't look fake.

And that's before you consider the fact that the Terms of Service for most social networks prohibit you from sharing your password with anyone. I think someone is confusing "terrorism" and "tourism" again. :rolleyes:

And for God's sake don't tell them if you're a paediatrician.

The same advice would apply if you're travelling to the UK - and we do angry illiterate mob far better than the Americans.

Especially in Paulsgrove.* *(That's probably the most in joke there has ever been on CP).

There are naysayers, now, saying that it never happened[^]. I was living in Southsea, at the time, and I remember it well.

Are you sure it's not the "Mandela Effect"? :~ The movie that doesn’t exist and the Redditors who think it does[^]

I remember people going on about it, and a mention in the Evening News -- and not much would surprise me, where Paulsgrove's involved. FMS is also a real thing, though -- and not much would surprise me, where my warped brain's involved. I blame time travellers*. * My standard excuse for saying something's not my fault

Um, doesn't that work for everything? :)

Boss: When will your project be done? Project Manager: I forgot. I don't think that will work, but it'll work in almost any other situation. ;-)

I think you are doing it wrong... Project Manager: Boss, I forgot to tell you that I have knee surgery today, and will be out on medical leave for the next 5 days, so that I can recover. << this is the time that you get the project done >> "I forgot" works again.
