U.S. citizen denied entry into Poland after security staff object to handwritten notes in passport

A U.S. citizen has been barred from entering Poland because her passport was defaced with handwritten notes. The unidentified 54-year-old woman arrived at Krakow airport from London, a border guard spokeswoman said Wednesday. The passenger was stopped at passport control because her document contained handwritten notes of locations and airport names under visa stamps from the countries she had visited. The woman told border officials she was unaware it was not permitted to deface passports or ID documents. Border security spokeswoman Justyna Drozdz said the woman will be placed on a flight to London on Thursday.
