About 30 minutes later, a rescue worker cried back to me with serious face and inquired me to show my passport. Using my hands, grabbed my passport from my back bag displayed him, when my passport came in his sight he laughed out loud. After a few more minutes, police officer said, “You are free now. And really sorry about what happened to you today. Have a good trip.”
Looking at him with puzzled face, my helper approached to me and explained everything. USA had really huge problem with terrorists which happened in 9.11. Because of this terror they tightened security tighter than before, so if someone had a really tiny problem with passport or something else that person gets a trouble. This huge issue lead them suppress me. My passport had made when I was 10,
so picture was different from real my face, so immigrant explained, “You should have changed your photo. Because of this you can get a trouble. For example, you can be falsely charged as a drug dealer or a terrorist.” This explanation is that I couldn’t understand that moment. It wasn’t difficult but I was so nervous I couldn’t get it. The thing that I wanted tell from this story is don’t feel nervous and don’t lose yourself when you fall into unbelievable situation. To not feel the nervous and don’t lose yourself you have to struggle with various kind of situations. For example, you can do image training and search for way to escape. I really hope that this can help you for your first trip. The most important thing is choose your photo which is similar with your real face for passport photo.
