So I can't take my laptop to Anguilla, right? (I'm not a US citizen or permanent resident; I'm pretty sure I don't fall under the TMP exception either, but I haven't checked in a while.)
Check out the regulations quoted. A wide variety of people, such as all (or certain types of) students qualify as 'permanent residents' under some regulations (but not under others). The 'qualifying' portions of various regulations often change on a whim. e.g. - qualification for dual citizenship of US born children who immigrate with their parents to another country before they reach the age of consent. The bottom line is that if you get an opinion from some legal source or another (preferably in writing), it is rarely worthwhile for some gubmint dweeb to seriously fuck with you, unless they 'want' to fuck you for some other reason and need an excuse. (The Law of Karma applies, nonetheless.) In short, cover your ass and don't use my name when crossing borders. TotoMonger
