Ooooh my its the same in the England aswell, my grandma came over and at passport control she had to give names of the people she would be staying with and what their employment is, her husbands employment, health insurance details, maiden name, her previous employment and exactly when she would be leaving, then show them her return passport just to be further asked who had bought it!

That is terrible! I had to get a new British passport, as I had a stamp in the old one saying my residence permit had run out but in the meantime I had got Croatian citizenship. It was a nightmare when I had to use the Brit one when flying to the UK when Croats still needed visas. Also in Holland I got stopped when flying to Venice via Amsterdam once, because it said on the passport stamp that I had to leave the Netherlands five years previously! A BRIT, travelling to ITALY via the NETHERLANDS?! All three EU countries! These airport border people seem to have nowt better to do with their time than pick on people for no reason!

Well, I have to go with the US Customs and Border Protection Agency being, by far, the worst I have experienced. I am a Canadian, with a US Green Card and a home outside of Atlanta. Aparantly having gone through the process of marrying an American and getting a perm resident card means nothing. We have a home in Dubrovnik, and each time we return to the US we are detained - held for more that 3 or 4 hours at a time. They are ruthless. I hate going home, I prefer the Cro immigration. Normally they wont even stamp my passport, let alone be bothered to give me a hard time...

That sounds worse than anything we get in Europe, and it also confirms horror stories I've heard and read about, such as demanding a negative HIV test and checking you've got health insurance and no criminal record. Not to mention all the guns at airports. I will certainly not go there!
