I wouldn't worry toooooooooo much. Security guards are not known to
represent the intellectual elite (they are the ones who couldn't get hired
by the local police) ... so I doubt that it is too representative.

But on the news today I did hear that one of Sweden's absolute top
journalists is banned from the US. He isn't even allowed to fly over US
territory in transit. Jan Guillou is his name. He uncovered illegal
activities by the Swedish secret police in the 70's (they were spying
domestically ... kind of a Watergate thing). So much for the free press.
