says, "I thought that the No-Fly list was scrapped, but it turns out
it was just renamed."
A plane bound for Washington from London was diverted to Maine on
Tuesday after passenger Yusuf Islam - formerly known as pop singer Cat
Stevens - showed up on a U.S. watch list, federal officials said. One
official said Islam, 56, was identified by the Advanced Passenger
Information System, which requires airlines to send passenger
information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting
Center. TSA was then contacted and requested that the plane land at
the nearest airport, the official said.

Blogger denied entry by DHS - "Blogging
ain't a job"
Blogger denied entry by DHS - "Blogging
ain't a job"
03/19/2005 03:18 AM
Blogger Jeremy Wright was denied entry to the United States and was
strip searched by the US Department of Homeland Security. One of the
reasons for the suspicion was that the officer didn't believe blogging
was a profession. "Blogging ain’t a job," said the officer.
(Maybe I should modify my last post about amateurs and blogging...)
Jeremy has posted a followup entry which is sober and balanced. He quotes from
memory part of the exchange with the DHS officer.
Him: Why
would you visit someone in the states you’d never met (I
mentioned I was planning to visit several people whilst down there)
Me: Well, I have met most of them, but I’ve talked to them
dozens or hundreds of times online.
Him: Do you have any of their phone numbers?
Me: No, but I talk
Him: You can’t talk to someone without a phone number. Stop
lying to me.
Me: No, really, I can talk from my computer to theirs
Him: Don’t be a smartass. If you don’t have their phone
number, and you’ve never met them, how can you have ever talked
to them.
Me: … (at this point I’ve learned that sarcasm
doesn’t help, nor does answering questions he doesn’t want
to hear the answer to)
Him: So, you’re trying to tell me that you’re going to
visit someone who you’ve never met, never talked to and who
knows nothing about you? And I’m supposed to believe
this?
Good point about sarcasm. On my blog I talk tough
about DHS and immigration, but in front of a DHS officer, I'm very
polite and try to say "yes sir" a lot... Immigration is definitely not
a good play to practice your sarcasm.
