Rather than start a new thread ... a British senior academic was on BBC Radio 4 'Today' complaining that he was turned back at JFK.
He had been to the USA many times, including taking part in post 9/11 ceremonies and, on this trip, had been invited by a university .
Oh yes, he is a Moslem. Still, at least the flight was not turned back and ruined everyone's day. And it is reassuring to see that the USA are keeping to their usual standards.
