About the same as the chances we don't know all the facts about everything that gets discussed here.

Probably the most believable fact on the whole topic.

What we know is quite simple and evident, and there is no need to whitewash or sugarcoat it.

Everything on the net is being read, and those spying eyes pass the information on to all kinds of organisations.

So you better look out what you say or write, because we know that all kinds of things happen to people, even if there is no evidence at all for any wongdoing.
(You probably also know that people abroad are killed with drones by self-appointed judges through interpretation of metadata like certain behaviour schemes alone, not evidence. Just saying the truth or being an average citizen with no terroristic background does not help you)

Anyone remembers Neal's site was banned for Google adverts, because they found the word esc0rt serv!ce somewhere in this forum. Harmless, of course.

Apart from that, the way this woman was treated and threatened, beggars all description. When asking whether she would be allowed to sleep a bit before taking the next plane home (after 18 hours of flight and 24 more hours of harsh interrogation) the answer was "Yes, in jail".

They either searched for her profile on Facebook (not uncommon if the officer is suspicious). That or they searched her phone (also very common now). Even though there was no mention of payment, just speaking of doing work that could entail payment can be enough.

I can't speak about how she was treated, as I can't read German well and haven't seen anything in English about it. It does sound though like they did treat her very poorly. Also they should have to explain why they did what they did.

This is a story from the beginning of the 80s

My elder sisters boyfriend who was a German had made some travel to East Germany and even Russia, if I remember correctly.

Some years later they toke a vacation trip to USA(New York)

When the border Police toke a look at the boyfriends passport, they went totally berserk

He was under interrogation some hours.

All the time he kept on saying-It is in my job to travel we have a contract with Companies in East Germany and Russia.

Sorry for this off topic story

Being a German fearing American I'd absolutely refuse a nineteen year old German woman entry. She was probably going to spread German humour in the homeland.

You can't fight what you can't see and you can't spread what doesn't exist. You argument therefore is invalid.

To stay off topic

Yes my sister is a Danish citizen, but her boyfriend, who was under interrogation because of some stamp in his passport-stamp with words like DDR and possibly Soviet, is a genuine German citizen

Today we know why.(NO he was not a KGB-spy or something)

Can't let a 19 year old German Girl in the U.S.A.
All the 19 year old spaces are filled by Mexicains.
