Google is a New Tool for US Border Guards
US Border Guards have apparently started using Google as one of their numerous tools for deciding whether to admit a person to the US. According to E-week, guards at the border crossing south of Toronto recently turned away Hossein Derakhshan - a Canadian citizen of Iranian origin - after they read about his recent trip to Iran and a sarcastic joke about the CIA and illegal money laundering on his blog.
Derakhshan was on his way to New York to speak at ConvergeSouth.

Even though I have never heard of such a thing before this incident, i’m sure that from now on more people will be experiencing this situation. For myself, traveling to the U.S. has been a difficult and nerve-wrecking experience because I have a record of arrest in the past, and even though i was not convicted, it causes me so much grief to cross the border. To save myself, I have found a company called Canadian Pardon Services through http://www.USborderblog.com, and they have been able to help me get over these obstables!
