(you can do immigration there before the flight)
In Copenhagen allegedly so there are people trawling the aisles asking questions and taking notes, except, at Kennedy airport you still get to get iris scanned, photoed and fingerprinted at the eventual end of a huge line, all surrounded by a platoon of armed and armoured goons wearing those "make me look even more like a true asshole"-sunglasses.
I am pretty convinced that those goons are all hyped up on something new, to maybe boost their reaction time a few hundred msec. They all seemed insectile to me, the way that nobody looked bored or slightly sweaty.
I have stopped going to conferences in the US. Once inside the US is OK, but, the same could be said about visiting the DDR. The US border control now gives the same feeling, that one might not make it in, or out, again because someone ticked a box on a form by mistake or because they can.
