The new procedure of throwing tourists in jail if they get a minor speeding ticket until they have checked if your valid passport is really valid, sound way over the top. Is it safer to go to Iraq?

I confess I got a ticket for parking in front of a church in NY once, I paid it.
You also convinced me Cuba is a warmer country, in more ways than one. (In a free country you can chose where to travel)
I'll say Hi to Fidel

Unfortunately, it has come to this. First of all, she shouldn't have been speeding and running stop signs. Secondly, with the issues of illegals and terrorists, law enforcement is trying to keep things safe. Of course its safe to be a tourist in the U.S., but tourists need to know that we have laws - including traffic laws - that should be obeyed. Maybe her holding was a little harsh - but you have to look at the things we don't know. There are often bulletins and issues we don't know about - suspected problems in an area, or alerts for certain suspects - that they are trying to rule out.

LOL!
I hadn't heard about that yet.
Your tagline suggests you're from Ottawa, so you'll certainly know Canadian travelers aren't required to carry a passport if they "drive" across the border. (At least not until next year.) Therefore, you shouldn't have any problems with your own passport, unless you fly. I tend to think you'll need to have any bugs with your passport all worked out before the airline even lets you on the plane.
Nice question.

No, get the hell out of here fast, while you still can, the only people that are safe in the US are illegal aliens, so destroy all documentation that proves your status, thus you'll be welcomed and protected... and yes, it's likely that you'd be safer walking the streets Baghdad late at night:(

Go somewhere else. They cane people in Singapore for minor crimes. Go commit a crime in China, and disappear into one of their "prisons". The only thing that leaves those places is body parts for sale.
Really dude, if America is such a hellhole, then don't come. With your attitude it would be more likely you would get in trouble than try to have fun.

Forced to strip, humiliated and thrown in jail for a speeding ticket is unnecessary.

Ha, ha.
I did hear that happened to one Canadian, I'm assuming she didn't have her ID on her, which foreigners are supposed to have, by the way.
Generally, you are safe, if you are legally here.

I would like to think that this is the exception and not the rule.

Go to Iraq and find out. By the way we could care less if you visit.
