They missed the function as a result.
Last night's incident happened because Mr Adams' name was on a terror watch list.
Today the pair opted for a six-hour train journey from the US capital to Boston instead of the hour-and-a-half long flight.

Anyway, these watch lists are a nonsense. I get hassled every time I fly because my name is "similar" to the name of someone on the list. And to get off this secondary list, I have to go to the trouble and expense of providing these idiots with notarized copies of my birth certificate, passport etc.

I begin to wonder how he was ever allowed to come into the country in the first place. If that was any other terrorist they would have been sent packing(maybe).

I would take Gandhi off there, because as far as I know he didn't leave piles of bodies behind him, but other than that your point is well taken, as others have mentioned here. The day our respective governments stop dealing with all those who kill and exploit the innocent,it will be a good day. Of course, they will also have to arrest themselves..........
