Yeah, yours probably.

Second: I am willing to bet that I am the ONLY person you will ever speak to who was ever accused by a foreign government of terrorism. That's right, I was pulled off a plane at gunpoint in 1991 (I think that is correct, it was during the tail end of the first Iraq war) by two solders holding Uzis in England. After I was thrown in jail, they accused me of being a member of the IRA. Apparently there is a known IRA criminal with my exact name (which is really odd since I have two first names... what's the odds of that happening?). To make a long story short they apologized after they discovered it was not me, but deported me for 5 years anyway because they found work related material that I traveled with (yep - can't bring work to the UK when you are on holiday... its true!).

So now here comes the punch line. 24 hours after I left, John Major's apartment was hit my a mortar shell allegedly fired by the IRA. I no longer hold any grievance against the British government, I understand they were just trying to protect their citizens.

Third: Now that I am qualified to understand the psyche of a foreign group of people who are (understandably) scared that they will be accused of being terrorists by inbreed rightwing Americans, they decided to separate from each other before they got on the plane to avoid discrimination while being searched. That's right, they were probably ADVISED to avoid each other before they got on the plane to make sure they got their flights. If they were really scoping things for a future attack, our government would not have let them go so easily. Sounds like a clear case of bigotry and profiling to me... an understandable case since our nations allegedly under attack, but this is the exact same reason why the CIA is in trouble now...
