HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nicolle Saroukos of Sydney, Australia, was looking forward last Sunday to a three-week vacation in Honolulu with her mom.

“That’s where my mother and father had their honeymoon, so it held a very like sentimental place in her heart,” Saroukos, 25, said.

It was Saroukos’ third visit to see her husband, Matt, a U.S. Army lieutenant stationed on Oahu. The newlyweds married last December.

She said she hadn’t had issues before, but this time U.S. border officials at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport flagged her for additional screening.
