The question was along the lines of; "whilst visiting the USA, are you planning on conducting terrorist activities?"
IsDon; Quite a few years ago, apparently there was a question on the US Visa application which asked if it was your intention to attempt to overthrow the US Government.

I'm not joking, as the following was in an article in the British Gliding Association magazine.

The writer of the Platypus column (Mike Bird) then featured in said magazine was visiting the US and found that question on his application card.

He stated that he wrote;'Sole purpose of visit.' in the reply section.
And still got his visa!

Which says something......I think.
