That's not true. The officer could simply say something on the
line of: "I have to inform you that teaching is a working
activity not allowed by your visa, and since this isn't your
language, maybe you are confusing lectures with teaching
lessons... Do you wish to reformulate your statement?" If you
mind that this whole incident is bad for US public relatiotions
and also wastes US citizens money to persecute, imprison and
transfer back to England a person which is clearly not an
illegal immigrant: than maybe you'll understand that officer
would have risked only a positive outcome from the whole thing.
