| Goofs | The Customs and Immigration would not allow the visitors to enter the United States without the proof of return flights. The East Germans had only enough money together for two one-way flight to New York City as indicated at the travel agency in Berlin. Additionally, the agents would demand the financial proof that the visitors had adequate amount of money for travelling within the US before admitting them in. See more » |
