Listen, the badmouthing didn't come from just somebody, it came from his own father, goddamit! At least the guy should have been pulled in and questioned on the spot and even if they let him go - with his visa - he should then be placed on the hot list, where any additional suspicious tag would rise a flag high! 1. Like a one way ticket. 2. Trips started some obscure place in Africa. I am a Swedish citizen and flying out of Munich as I do from time to time, I am instantly profiled unlike those being Germans and flying out of Munich. I am white, carry a round trip ticket, have the same US address each time and a visa. Don't look like Godzilla either. Maybe the Germans -or rather the US TSA guys stationed in Munich in 'deep undercover' are just better than those dummies in Amsterdam?? Taro

>>> So, you're in favor of invalidating people's visas based on one instance of badmouthing hearsay? Someone, ANYONE (particularly a relative, but ANYONE) reporting, seriously, that someone "might be leaning toward committing a suicide bombing" OUGHT to be grounds to keep him off a flight. And that is NOT just a flight originating outside the country, but INSIDE the country. Combine that with the one-way ticket and no luggage on an international flight and it is IMPOSSIBLE to rationalize such a lapse in security. How can you be this f*cking dumb?
