I can imagine grian stood on the other side of a barrier just laughing at jimmy
100% XDDD
I can see him taking hundreds of selfies with jimmy just looking upset on the other side the whole time😂
Yeah that’s reasonable 😭
Literally thinking the same thinglol
Gri just snaps a picture lmao
Customs guy looked at Jimmy & Grian and went "Yeah, that skinny dude is gonna crack first, let's have him"
I think they got worried of being put on hold from Grian so they took skinny toy man instead
@@G0kss7permit office vs wannabe permit office.
poor Jim xD
they really couldn't have picked a worse person though, like, no fault to Jimmy, I think it's just his personality or smth, he just has the least amount of "I'm in charge, get me out of here" energy 😅
The “big man” looks easiest, lets screen him out
"That man will sing like a canary..."
"we dont get many of your kind through here" and " make sure to bring more stuff next time"
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??!?
Not to be mean I think it's cause he a brit lol (again not to mean) also if I was him I would have had a heart attack and panic attack and all the attacks
they don't see normal people very often I guess
@@Nioureux Jimmys normal?
@@moffgoblin pffff
brother if this is the protocol for people from the UK I can't imagine what it is for people from other countries
I'm American and I got pulled aside by the TSA for a full body inspection because I was "sweating." This was is Florida and I live in the mountains...OF COURSE I WAS SWEATING!!!
If I went through that then a whole police force after me.
You are not alone. Another American youtuber, Soup, had that happen to him for the same reason.
The security is always, better to be paranoid then sorry, there's no common sense.
The same thing happened to me in LAX. I was just 20 and my finger got a small cut from something in the plane and they took me in. They don't care.
yeah tsa honestly sucks (best experience I ever had was in Massachusetts when I went a few weeks ago, quickest and calmest one I've ever been through.) AND THEN THERE'S LAX
I can't believe that the police/security questioned one of the most infamous (toy) sheriffs known to man!!! Poor jim
They probably think he's got a snake in his boot
Disney's kinda a big deal in the US... :)
Yeah that's fair👍
I guess he is just too tiny- i mean special 😅
Lol our Customs officers are TERRIBLE, so rude makes you want to turn around and go back where you came from.
Hmmm……….. this reminds me of… something… perhaps.. a permit related office…?
yeah customs officers are literally so pissed for like no reason! Istg they just pick on random people and it scares the ever living shit out of me
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
@@Random_editz100 YES xD
@@imMittensKitten ELLO! Why do I find you everywhere…
They probably looked at each other and said, "We should pick a white guy with blonde hair sometime. People are going to figure out this isn't random. OH there's one!"
LMAOOO😭
no way bro😭😭
STOP LMAO
For real.
"Why are you here?" For charity mister! "What charity?" Umm... Scar's one. "And which one of you is Scar?" Sorry, I meant GoodTimesWithScar. We still need to assemble him. "Sir, have you used any controlled substances today?
I bet Grian was so mad. He may pick on Jimmy as a joke but he was an organizer and a good friend and he was probably yelling at everyone for pulling him into a room.
Why do I feel like irl when a serious scenario happens that Grian would either take charge and be angry or just have no idea what to say 😭
Don't mess with Grian's fam.
Yeah, and Grian can be pretty intimidating when he wants to :D
@@gollishh He is the backbone of hermitcraft events (both on and offline) and his permit office bit is a satire on how horrible this kind of thing is, so I think he would definitely be vocal about it
or he was probably normal and didn’t say anything☠️
They really pulled the Please Hold on him
**Jim standing in line, happy to be with his friends and excited about the wonderful event to help children **
TSA- He looks way to happy to be coming here, get him.
TSA- WHY WOULD ANYONE BE HAPPY TO BE HERE..SUS
Maybe toys aren’t allowed through the airport Customs?
Probably why
My dirty mind 😭
He should have gone through baggage
@@Random_editz100I thought th same 😢
Metal parts like speakers probably set off the detectors.
Jim is literally the least sus sounding-looking person on youtube wtf lmao.
TRUE
That would be sausage's job
Grian being Grian and saying "you picked the worst one of us to take in there" in such a serious moment is sooooooo hilarious. Never change Grian! And better luck next time Jim!
America's a strange place, and I'm saying this as an American myself.
@Messwiththeh
Yes and under, it's for your own safety.
Yeah I get it we don't want anymore Terrorists on our Planes but I mean if it was him being a RUclipsr or attending a Charity that made him Sus it shouldn't take 40 minutes to verify, just look him up real quick ask him which Charity and then call them up and see it all checks out
Or maybe by the "your kind" comment they're Xenophobic and are afraid that the English have come to Colonize or procure our Artifacts for a museum
i gotta get outta here
@@maxtube444yes bc 911 happened and you’re having this because of security.
I agree
Customs is the worst part of travelling...I understand the protocol but they see everyone with judgemental eyes and make decisions prior to even start talking. I absolutely hate that.
It's part of the security
So deal with
If this saves life's so be it.
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw it literally doesnt. At least American TSA and customs doesnt. TSA failed to find threats 90% of the time when tested....
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw I understand the notion, but prejudgement and the tone they speak with ppl is quite out of line.
@yashashchandraharidas
It's like paying taxes you have no guarantee, if they re being use for good things
There nothing we can do
Being honest,
Because if we could change it, then we would have done it already.
I don't agree with disrespect, we all deserve to be treated fairly
And yes this is happening
How to solve, bring everyone together and stop what gives them money, until then, this will keep happening.
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw I think u have never been through US Customs...they ask the most random shit ever, the amount of disrespect is uncalled and unwarranted...they even try to belittle you to assert their power. I don't know about you but no one deserves that kind of a treatment..just bcz they had some judgments and preconceived notions about some race or ethnicity. It's not like paying taxes, cuz it doesn't affect u directly like this does. Many people go through this all the time, I believe u r just living under a rock undermining all the experiences of others as well. Saying that there is nothing people can do about it is absolutely mental..people being silent isn't going to make anything better. I'm glad Jimmy is talking about..it cuz this shit should be addressed.
Maybe they looked at you all and thought "That man looks like he would be a bad liar. "
I can tell you why you got picked. Your high-energy makes you stand out to security. Also, the amount of belongings can make them concerned. But the main thing I think that got you was youtube isn't considered as a job to some, and you're not married. So, in turn, they see someone who may be coming to work illegally and overstay.
Why would they amount of belongings be of any concern to them ?!? 😭 If you pack under prepared why does that matter to them ?? American but if never traveled via plane so I don't know anything about customs. If I can drive there, I will
that's dumb
@@bravobby8773it’s because many of the people that do come to work illegally come with very few belongings, usually just the clothes on their back, while people that are vacationing usually have at least one suitcase with them
Yeah but that’s weird bc the others didn’t get pulled over either
@@bravobby8773fr like what if u were travelling for months and bought a lot of stuff 💀
I was in that situation with my dad some years ago for what seemed like 3 hours. My uncle and aunt were waiting for us outside too. After a while the guy's boss was like "let them go, you got nothing" but he kept on digging for stuff on his computer. They let us in eventually, but our flight tickets to and from another city inside the US were marked with SSSS and we were always "randomly" selected for the longer/slower line with the fancy body scanning machines, while our relatives weren't.
What does that even mean "you gotta bring more stuff next time"? Like if I've checked a bag, I'm just bringing a backpack with a book or something to occupy myself on the flight, maybe a spare change of clothes in case my luggage gets lost....like what did they want you to bring!??
But he didn't lost his luggage
He literally got few items, that can be seing suspicious
Plus someone else coment that he has very high energy.
Probably meant more ID?
Illegal immigration risk. People that don't bring an expected amount of luggage for a trip raises suspicions. Bogus in most cases but also a trend from people coming on vacation then never go home.
Sometimes I wonder if Grian is exaggerating with the permit office.. and then I hear stories like this and realize how annoying the government can be. Awful experience, but I hope you come back to America someday because me and many other fans are American!
He's going to use this as further inspiration for his permit office, I just know it.
Grian literally is telling how awfully government paper work can be
No just for they UK, it happen in any country.
@@AgnesBooth-zu7twits every country
You never been to one before?
If ya have, in which part of wonderland are you from where it's not like that?
I have been to them before and they are completely awful.
i understand the protocol they have to follow, but it’s the fact that the tsa agent didn’t even apologize and just said “you gotta bring more stuff next time”
is it? i took it as "gotta bring more proof of your identity" it happens all the time. even between states, multiple forms of ID are required for situations like this :/
@@kittykatpharuhs Jimmy didnt mention anything about being asked for papers that he didnt have though.
I took it as, he seems to have too little luggage/cash on him for the estimated staying time. Plus the 'youtuber' career maybe made them think he was trying to find a spot to move into, under the radar I guess .
What were they wrong about? For all we know his name was on some watch list so they followed the protocol to verify a) who he is which is their job
@@justmarcus33there were also literal muslim children on a no fly list so yknow i don't think it's a good protocol perhaps
What does that even mean though
I was 8 years old (post 9/11) I was nearly stripped searched at the airport bc my dad lent me his hunting bag as my luggage. (Apparently covered in gunpowder) They never told me why I had to go, so im sent to the secret room, they refuse to let my dad accompany me. I’m in the secret room alone, confused, crying, about to pull my pants down. And the head security lady and my dad barge in and she says “What the F is going on in here?!!” One of the weirdest moments in my life. 9/11 changed this country. Paranoia at customs/ airports is one of those changes.
They googled hermitcraft members and didn't see solidaritygaming on the list 😭😭
Did you think he was in hermitcraft? Cause he’s not
Then why did Martin pass 😂
@@ijan8611with the power of lore
You keep saying Jim, but Google comes back with Tim solidarity gaming. Care to comment?
I think both are correct, but I like Jim better
this EXACT same thing happened to my mum 😭😭😭THE SAME ROOM, EVERYTHING, with the fat no phone sign too. My mum went with her friend who is an air hostess on the flight that just landed in America, so the air hostess friend went a diff way through security and my mum was alone and pulled into this room💀the air hostess had the return tickets for the flight and my mum couldn't message her to get them so she was stuck for hours😭
its wild trying to get into america even when youre a citizen here. i've driven to canada several times before and its crazy cause the canadian side is always just a couple of guys in a tiny building that glance at your passport and just sort of wave you in, but the american side is this huge building with multiple security gates with armed guards that drill you with questions for like 10 mins.
some advice my friends who are well traveled gave me is that you should never crack jokes or act overly friendly with them, they'll read too far into everything. just hand them your stuff and tell them where you're going, what you're doing, and how long you're staying. give short concise answers and leave the talking to just one person if you're in a group together
How terrifyingly dystopian.
@@IceMetalPunkthey act like we're the greatest country everyone wants to go to when that's far from the truth lol.
@@SliferStreamingyall Xenophobic a holes never heard of 911? Ignorance is bliss losers. No one is acting like it’s the greatest country. Stop using stereotypes and xenophobia to be rude and ignorant.
That hasn't been my experience, at least so far. I'm a U.S. citizen and have driven to Canada and back 6 times, most recently two days ago. Every time, both sides just ask "How long is your trip? Are you bringing anything new in that will stay here?" and that's it. Then again, that could be because I've only taken short trips with minimal luggage? Maybe I've just been lucky... I did see someone ahead of me in line get stuff confiscated from their car by U.S. Customs.
@@Shako_Lamb i guess it depends on who you are or who youre traveling with. the first time i went i was with my friend who is visibly trans. the second time i was with my friend who was born in iran and immigrated here when she was a little kid. they didnt give us too much of a hard time, but there was definitely a noticeable difference in how we were treated on both sides.
They picked the worst guy to talked to😂
Because Jimmy is quite introvert.
They pick the strongest and tallest to interrogate.
Jimmy is not strong
He is avarage
Scar looks bit more imposing
@@AgnesBooth-zu7twscar wasn’t there, out of the ones who were there (presumably the brits) jimmy would’ve been the tallest and strongest. As grian martyn false and zed are shorter and most likely weaker than jim
It's probably the airport that you were at. Not every "International" airport is the same. Some places are more used to the RUclipsrs/streamers while others are "what the heck, this can't be real." As far as the bring more stuff comment, I think he was refering to documentation for your connection to the charity and/or employment.
As an American, I have found the prosses of customs to be very simple. However, I have always said "vacation" or "holiday."
plot twist:grian was just holding a sign that said “pick him” pointing at jim the whole time
What's really terrible is that we could almost believe that.
Thou shall not pass, Tim, thou shall not pass
Lucky that you got to see the eclipse! A once in a lifetime event that was!
I feel so bad for you, you were literally going to do amazing charity work. You're all so lovely and caring people, so the fact that you were stopped for no reason must have been so irritating for you.
If that happened to me, I'd be so scared. It sounds like they were properly firing questions at you, like an interrogation.
At least you eventually got through and were able to do all the cool streams for charity and raise so much money :) and have fun with friends
They’re just doing their jobs. They’re no bad people either. I hate it too and find their tones too much. But be in their shoes. Yes they have their own problems but they play video games for a living and can raise money for people in need. On their own time. Meanwhile the others have to go to work probably for 8-12 hours a day. And at least do something to stop illegal things. It’s not poor Jimmy. It’s unfortunate but no one is poor. They’re humans too.
Being from Canada, I have been to the US a lot. One of my first trips on my own I went over the border by greyhound bus (cheers for being poor and in college... not omg bus was terrible). We stop at the Windsor crossing which puts you just outside of the US, get out unload everything and have to go into customs. I wait in the long line, and am watching people left and right being denied entry for a variety of reason, finally it's my turn, I step up and the customs agent asks me why I'm going to school for Early Childhood Education and could I confirm my school (this freaked me out, why did they know and why did they care?) Then they wanted to know where I was going, where I was staying and how I had any acquaintances in the US. This is where it gets embarrassing see when I was in college, I was a big Harry Potter geek and had been on an online role playing game for years with people, had video chatted, we'd exchange birthday gifts, whatever... now imagine telling the customs and border guy this at like 2am, and hoping to god the let you into the country. Well lucky for me I brought a ton of documents and contact info should something like this happen, unlucky for me when they did the bag search before we could reboard the bus, my bag flipped over onto the ground sending all my stuff everywhere and I am not quite sure I really got over the border agents helping me repack my underwear... *sigh* I have travelled a lot since then to the US, and can say Jimmy some of the experiences made me want to not go back, so I totally understand your story, but don't let that experience stop you because you were epic on the stream, and you even had doc consider you and Martyn honorary Hermits which says a lot!
That's so strange to hear, I can remember when crossing from Manitoba into North Dakota needed nothing more than a driver's license and a promise to not bring in any fruits lol
It is necessary though. Lots of people live in the US as well as lots of tourists. Blame 911.💔
@@tyreek.6815 do you know how many terrorists the TSA has caught? hint: The answer is less than you think it is
The custom officer suspected that Ken was in disguise.
I'm so sorry and embarrassed that your experience entering our country was one such as this. The work you all did for charity is amazing. We appreciate you being willing to travel here and dealing with an unkind welcome.
You should have brought the sheriff badge with you 😂
Dumb joke.
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw cool, not really a joke but something I found funny
That is so bizarre and scary, i once got Pulled out of line and scanned by the TSA. they went though my bag and freaked out.. because i had a necklace that was vaguely shaped like an arrowhead (it was a heart shape) they behaved like i had a weapon of DOOOOOM.
"Bring more stuff next time" LIKE FREAKING *WHAT*????? dear lord.
Grian definitely payed the TSA off.
OMG that would be so stressful! Customs doesn't play around. I'm American and always feel pretty scrutinized when going through American customs even though it's my own country. Last time the guy snapped at us for saying we bought souveniers because we needed to specifically list every single thing. I get why (he said "I don't know what you consider a souvenier.") but they definitely aren't nice about it. I dont know why the group of you traveling was suspicious though, it seems normal. Fortunately I have never been pulled into the room for interrogation. Hopefully you weren't flagged or anything so it doesn't happen again
Bro i get this! I was at a mall and i have about 5 (male) police following me and watching me! I’m a female (minor) and white! They thought i wasn’t American! Said it right to my face! I met up with my brother and he went up to ask them what was wrong and they went “is she American?” 😅 like yes. Born and raised!
What's a pretty girl like you doing in a country like this?
-The cops (probably)
My question is why would they be following a literal *child?* What did they think you were gonna do, rob the mall with a plushy and a hair tie?
Why would it be a problem even if you weren't American? Dumb. 🥴🥴
@@HarmonyMoonbeam024Kids and teenagers will often be bribed/forced into carrying drugs and stuff for gangs because police aren’t allowed to be as rough with them, and they also can get away with acting weirdly. It’s a massive issue in the UK, especially the north- I’ve had police in my school to talk to us about it multiple times.
@@TheyCallMeDioThat would be extremely concerning as she is a minor
Context: Jim talked about Grian and Martyn getting his things and this senerio popped in my head. Blend of Life series and life.
Grian and martyn at the customs office
M- Where's Jimmy?
G- He's gone.
M- What do you mean gone?
G- They took him Martyn!
M- "They" took him!? What do you mean "They" took him?
G- I dont know, they just took him and now he's gone.
M- So he's with.... Them
G- Im afraid so
** Both in disbelief, just looking down and around at all Jimmy's things and slowly start gathering it up **
**Martyn with a small exhale, followed by a soft chuckle, and a smirkish grin asks Grian**
M-You got a chest on you?
not the lore 💀
The perfect comment XD
Martyn was definitely trying not to laugh
😂😂😂
The chest at the end! 😂😂😂
Some people have been held hours on hours... 45 minutes is express service. Customs!!
He got the celebrity treatment.
I mean we're America. Home of we pretend we are free and scared of everything.
45 minutes beats the hell out of the years we've been known to hold some people here.
We like to hold people under fake names in high security places. Not even letting their own lawyers or family know where they are. Mind you these are people who are held in the actual US. Not "overseas" in GITMO.
And fun fact. We do that to Americans too.
I think it was last year a guy made the news because he had hit his tenth anniversary of being held without trial. Imagine spending ten years being held without trial? "Right" to a speedy trial. 😂
But hey we have "rights". The right to have everything taken from you and have a judge make excuses for why your "rights" just don't count. 😢
yeah US customs and security can be rough. sorry you had to go through that Jim, hope the rest of the trip made up for it!
Check out the whole Moist Critical thing. Dude spent top dollar in lawyer fees to get his Esports team into the US. 6 months of work to get them in and the only resolution was to drop the team and let them in individually.
this is why I'm never putting my feet in america unless I REALLY have to, heard way too many stories like this for comfort
Nah, come on over, you'll be fine. These incidents are lousy, but uncommon.
im an arab and this if this is how they treat a white british man then im scared😭 too many stories about airport security being horrible to us
@@someonewhocantmakeuptheirm2671 real, I even mentioned this in another comment because if that's the protocol for people from the UK imagine what is like for people from other countries
@@andrew3139That depends heavily on their race. Arabs will be questioned far more intensively than other races at airports, especially in America, because the reason that the TSA both exists and is so strict is because 9/11, and America seems to often conflate ISIS and Al-Queda with all Arabs despite the fact that many aren’t even Muslim, let alone Islamic extremists.
@@Anonyomus_commenterits called islamaphobia and racism
I used to fly a lot and there are a lot of things TSA look for, the main ones are.
#1. attitude and how one carries themselves (too low-key or too friendly)
#2. little or no baggage
#3. flying alone
#4. one-way trips
#5. international origin
Tick more than one of the above boxes and you become a 'person of interest'. I'm sorry you got tapped but glad that they are doing their jobs.
Innocent until proven guilty doesn't imply they can't detain you for a while. Welcome to America. "Land of the Free-ish".
i'm really sorry that happened to you! that had to be terrifying and scary.
my family was picked for a random car search coming back from canada when i was a kid, and that was really scary. they took my mom away for like an hour, but left my dad with me and my brother, in another room while they searched the car...
and then told us sternly not to talk every time my dad tried to reasure us that everything was gonna be okay... >_>
On an entirely different scenario, it could've traumatize you for life. Good thing no man with a rubber on their fingers came because we both know what happens next when he showed up.
That's SCARY bro...
As an American, I apologize for how dumb America actually is.
Ngl he probably thought you saying "charity fundraiser" was a cover-up for something illegal 😅
I’m a security guard and I have a TSA equivalent set of rules that we have to follow and some of them are a little ridiculous when the TSA looks at you though it’s because something doesn’t seem right like it was probably the way you were approached at first guy like oh yeah I know we’re all good and Bubba blah we’re going for this charity stream in certain states if you don’t have a work visa to be over here to actually come do a joband you didn’t just all right off the bat say I’m on vacation they will interrogate you to find out if you’re actually supposed to be here or something shady going on
This reminds me of when I had brought a weighted stuffed animal through the TSA and they were interrogating me on what it was stuffed with like they haven’t seen it in your local target
Of course they pick Jim
40 mins later Jimmy is released looking for the hermits and Martyn
Meanwhile the hermits and Martyn
Hi robo Scar
Jimmy was never seen again
Accurate impersonation of a TSA officer 🤣
We love you! Please come back to America and we will show you a much better time!
The TSA agent found the canary was in his bag still; Lizzie didn’t take it yet..
That sounds *traumatizing*
America already has Minecraft RUclipsrs at home.....
Yeah…I’m so sorry. We’re not a very friendly country to any foreigners right now. Glad everything went okay
What a harrowing experience. I can imagine how stressful it must have been in the moment. But you're managing to make it all sound quite funny. Don't blame you about thinking twice about going back to America. You're going to do good by raising money for a charity and this is how they welcome you 😮 😢
6:06 tbh that was a pretty good American accent
Ikr, it caught me off guard
i didnt even get to board a plane... they flat out rejected my visa request at the embassy!
the embassy rep said i was a liability to fly to the US, that i didnt have enough holding me in Brazil and could use the opportunity to illegaly migrate to the US ...
meanwhile, next to my booth, there was an elderly lady crying rivers that she needed a visa in order to visit her daughter in the US... that she would buy a return ticket once she arrived! -- she got her visa somehow!
Glad you had lots of backup for that. This is why our founding documents have all those pesky laws about 'rights of the accused' and 'warrants' and all that they're supposed to obey for citizens. Why law enforcement is supposed to be under oath to follow the thing. Founding fathers hated this crap too, so I guess you in good company there
So glad you had buds to watch out for you and grab your stuff so no one could steal it from ya
I'm so sorry this was part of your first visit here.
The TSA is bad enough as a citizen traveling domestically. I have a very common name that is frequently used as an alias for Bad Men®, so I always got pulled aside for "random additional screenings" (not as scary as what you went through, just annoying). The last time it happened, when it was me, in a walker, with two 80 year old women (one of whom did not seem to know where she was), I finally caved and paid the Transportation Security Agency money to "pre-approve" me to get me off the "random screening" list. When that didn't work, I had to get a redress number, which involved filling out a form and getting a litter indicating my "file at the State Department" had been updated.
What.
I'm assuming they wanted you to bring more stuff because some criminals, historically, have traveled into the US carrying very little and then done crime. Not an excuse and not a real reason to suspect someone of wrongdoing, but a lot of what the TSA does is security theater. :(
Thanks for bearing with it and making it to the event. It wouldn't have been the same without you. I'm glad you got to experience the eclipse and other things afterwards, as well. :)
I would love to hear Grian’s recanting of this story 😂😂
I am an American, and when I go to Europe, they barely glance at my passport and wave me through. But when I go back, they always ask questions. Usually pretty softball questions, but still.
Jeeze Jimmy! How dare you pack light!!! 😂😂
I was also pulled aside and questioned but I had a much more pleasant experience. It was one guy and he asked a bunch of questions but he was friendly. He also went through my suitcase and I warned him saying it was very full. He was like: nah I‘ve seen worse.
But when he was done he actually got flustered because he couldn‘t close my suitcase anymore and i had to do it myself. 😂
He also called my friend who I was staying with and asked her my name and some other information.
It was nerve wrecking but I think he wasn’t suspicious of me because I stayed cool the whole time.
I would still recommend coming back to America! We have a lot to offer, once you get past airport security. Trust me, it's bad even for the people who live here. (My bags have been flagged on multiple occasions for no reason. Like, I swear they just wanna make you stay in the airport longer so you buy more stuff.)
i think grian has plot armor
Jimmy was first out at the airport game.
Sweet vanilla milk TEA that sounds terrifying! 😫 As an American, I’m SO FREAKING SORRY you had to go through so that, but it sounds like you were able to handle it pretty well though. I know if that ever happened to me, I wouldn’t even be able to talk properly with how anxiety inducing that stuff is. I swear, the only good thing about airports these days are the moving sidewalks ;-;
rofl jimmy of all people was the sus one. XD yet they let Grian go threw no probs xD oh poor jimmy!
Sorry you had to go through that Jimmy, it's scary enough even when the border control turns out to be friendly. Don't let it put you off though! When I went through the border patrol for Finland, I had to explain to them that I was going to a Rubik's cube competition, something that is not always easy to describe to a person, but they took it well and even ended up wishing me good luck! So even though you had a scary experience this time, there are still many good experiences to have! Travel always has its ups and downs, and remember that if you can make it through US customs grilling you, then you can make it through anything :)
Quite honestly well done Jim for making it through that without cracking or panicking, genuinely impressive.
Get some hearts in the chat though
I remember what TSA used to be like before 2001. We were told it would go back to normal. But now this is normal, apparently.
i just saw the thumbnail and title and thought "oh man what did tim do now?"
When the guy asked if you had any questions, you know right after he said you should have more stuff. You should have said "Yes. What kind of stuff would you want me to bring the next time?"
You are always welcome here from us normal citizens Jimmy ❤
Sorry you had to go through that!!!
I’m always in the queue and there is one mean guy and one nice guy and I always am just sweating not knowing who I’m going to get. I’ve actually been to the room you’re describing before 🤣
Thats very unfortunate, Tim! I'm sorry that happened to you! 😢❤ Why would they be suspicious of you anyway!? You're the most innocent-looking guy around; you're so cheerful! What did they think you & your friends might be doing!? I don't know! Seriously, I actually can't think of anything you guys could've been thought to have been doing!
Also, despite Grian teasing you, I bet he was really worried & mad cuz that happened to you! It was also really nice of Grian & Martyn for grabbing your bags while you were there!
Grian plants tnt mine cart out side of door to surprise you upon your exit.
It was actually just an elaborate prank. Joel isn't actually in Japan, he was the TSA agent in a mask
You got to see the eclipse in Murica 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Jim, how do you feel??? Also yeah, customs suck 😔
Just found out that Iskall has this experience every time he goes to America.
I think that's the human-sized toy room
Sorry to hear this. I hope your flight back was better!
The sad part is all of this wouldn’t be a thing if that attack didn’t happen. Smh. Every child advice and sayings are so true. One bad apple ruins it for everyone.

That’s America for ya- guilty until proven innocent (unless you are rich)
I was on while this was happening but I had it on mute because I was on an online meeting at the same time and was so confused at everyone’s comments all saying “OH NO” lol 😅
Willldd I recently went to Canada and back and they genuinely didn’t even check my prescriptions. I had them in a backpack which they didn’t check. My passport expires in early June and they didn’t even ask a thing about that. Weirdest part was the face scanner coming back in, it recognized me straight away, four year old passport, I’ve started medically transitioning since I got it and I had trouble when I used it only a month after I got it… going to Mexico.
Isn’t there an import tariff for toys being posted from the UK to the US?
You probably had too much cash and not enough luggage/clothes/etc. on you to look like you're coming for a visit. Too much cash can look like you're planning on not leaving. Probably why he told you to bring more stuff with you next time.
Oh no, when i went to the USA after 2 hours of waiting in line, they take a picture( no finger prints taken) and were left threw.
The actual customs only took only tuke 2minutes
I hate when people change like that, from being so rude without a valid reason, to being super nice
Oh god I'm so sorry jimmy what the heckkk, frekin Michigan, if you came through here in portland oregon nobody woulda been grilled. That's crazy.
