Just to clarify. I was with a group of Argentinians and other Chilean. None of the Argentinians had problems at all (just the usual hard security controls). I had problems all the time, I guess because of my potential Arab name (and look? who knows). Dennis had problems with his PC but I don't think it was targeted because of being Chilean and/or Latin American. I don't know the experience of the Bolivian guy or the Brazilians, but I don't think they had great problems.
The problem is that if you look like Arab or Muslim some way you will have problems for sure. And that's discrimination anyway. 2011/8/11 Béria Lima <[email protected]> > Victor, > > Let's hope i'm wrong and you're right.
