Someday Someone Will Wake Up On Illegal Immigration

Get this - the US borders are porous, no one can argue that. Anyone who wants can get in.

However, should your name appear on a "no fly" list, the US government will not allow the flight you are on to land at the flight's destination/. Not only that, but after being diverted, you will be detained and questioned by the FBI and your bags will be searched.

Bureaucratic Common Sense continues to boggle the mind:


WASHINGTON, May 17 (Xinhuanet) -- US authorities ordered a passenger plane flying from Italy to Boston on Tuesday to be diverted to an airport in the northeastern state of Maine, after the name of a passenger was found to match one on a US no-fly list.

　　The jet flight of Alitalia, which was heading from Milan to Boston, was diverted to the Bangor International Airport, where the passenger and his luggage was removed from the plane, news reports said.

The plane stayed at the airport for about one hour before it took off for Boston in the afternoon.

FBI agents questioned the passenger and determined the man was not a suspected terrorist. The nationality of the passenger was not known immediately.

Last week, an Air France flight from Paris to Boston was also diverted to Bangor because one passenger aboard was found to have a name and birth date that matched those of a person in the US government's no-fly list. The passenger was later found to be a different person and had no connection to terrorism.
