Having a beard is very enough to raise their suspicion as they will link you to terrorism without thinking twice. In 2015 I bought a metal detector online and they thought I will use it to search for monuments. They returned it and I was lucky it ended there.

That makes me appreciate what I currently take for granted here in the US

Like having your phones and laptops searched (with you unlocking them) on entry?

Or do you mean "here in the US if I am a citizen"? :)

A fellow Tunisian here,

I tried several times to buy stuff online (listed with foreign currencies) using a regular credit card. But the transaction always fails.

Since we don't have paypal either, I'm interested, how do you purchase stuff online using a foreign currency?
