TIS, that may be because YOU don't have access to his file.

If those who do have decided that the former Cat Stevens is a security threat, then they probably have good reason to other than that he is simply a Muslim. If it turns out they are wrong and he's apologized to...so be it.

As some may have learned from 9/11/01 - better safe than sorry.

Best,
Apple [/b][/quote]Come to think of it, why don't we just give him the chair. We'd be 100% sure then, plus probably cheaper than a flight back to London.

If there is information on Yusuf Islam held by the US authorities why don't they share it with the British authorities so he can be arrested and charged in London??

BTW Apple, have you ever read 1984?? I'm sure when they have files on all of us and no-one is allowed to travel, you will be the first to complain. [/QB][/quote]Yeah, since we all know why the government wanted him off the plane...I forgot, the US sends intelligence breifings to all it's citizens.

As long as we're using your logic, let's let all the terrorists on planes, after all...we wouldn't want a vast right-wing conspiracy to protect the US now, would we?
