British-born CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour revealed on her podcast "The Ex Files" on Wednesday that she recently prepared to travel to the U.S. as if she were traveling to North Korea.
Speaking with her ex-husband Jamie Rubin, a former State Department official, Amanpour recalled a speech she gave at Harvard Kennedy School last month. Although she was a prominent media figure, she expressed fear that she would be stopped by border security.
"I must say I was afraid," Amanpour said. "I’m a foreigner. I don’t have a green card. I’m not an American citizen. I’m fairly prominent, and I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea. I took a burner phone. Imagine that. I didn’t take a single…not my mobile phone, not my iPad, nothing, and I had nothing on the burner phone except a few numbers."
She added that she spoke to CNN security before her visit after hearing several anecdotes about her fellow British citizens being either detained for hours or turned around at the border. However, she found that she was welcomed into the country and that the immigration officer she met "could not have been nicer."
"So, huge sigh of relief I breathed, but wow, can you imagine if I’m afraid, what do others think?" Amanpour said.
