ROTFL. I'm quite sure that's their main job, finding out who are the adversaries of the regime.

The law for entry to a country is not "you're allowed in so long as there is now law specifically making what you did illegal in the country"

What are you talking about? Where does it specifically say you can be legally denied entry into the United States for past drug use?
