-- What of the following is a best describes the interrogation you went thru ?
The interrogation was a fairly short and simple affair, where nothing was done to intimidate me or make me uncomfortable
That was my first ( or only ) time to be in such a situation, so while they did nothing on perpose to make me fearful, I still somehow felth uncomfortable or uneasy to be there

I am suprised with myself for taking the time and making the effort to participate in a poll of this sort
I am kind of suprised that there are people out there who are curios to know about this subject
I feel good if I was able to sutisfy someones curiosity
I feel annoyed that someone out there wants me to share such embarresing details, and yet at the same time i feel I want to talk about it
