The extreme fascist BS appears to be at this Tijuana/San Diego crossing so far. German tourist story referred was detained for 29 days until her return flight to Germany because she had a tatoo pen/supplies on her that "proved" intent to work illegally.

Counting on Florida tourism to not get attacked by Gestapo is not worth the risk.

I mean yes that is normal. Not the 29 days but I sure looked like she was working why else would she bring her tattoo stuff? And yes giving a friend a tattoo is considered working.

Her story was that she was tatooing people in Mexico, not US. I believe barter/favours are permitted by tourists.

You might also expect "welcoming tourism" alternative punishments of confiscating equipment, or putting them on next plane home, instead of "straight to jail"
