Be very careful when naming you're children 😃

lol, I suspect that the real terrorist probably is just walking around laughing at his namesakes getting detained everywhere else.

Maybe the "real" David Nelson somehow caused this confusion in order to eventually get through security checks once ticket agents start getting bored of screening David Nelsons... sounds like the thin plot of another Summer Blockbuster movie, huh? Don't be surprised if it becomes a plot point on TV or the big screen soon...

"Oh come on! He's only six months old for crying out loud! What's he going to do? Wee on the pilot?"

Meanwhile, the terrorist formerly known as "David Nelson"....

No offense, Weed, but it is a strange world we live in. Hell, the marines and navy are courting a 7 year old now.

When he said courting, I don't think he meant it in a relationship-type way. Cos that just would be sick.

incident of 2002 (june 2k2 i think)

Indian going to UK

Crew wanted to do check. While checking and as the crew and the guy were talking, he asked "do i look like osama that u r checking so extensively"

and that was it. he was kept in police custody for 3 days. then asked to leave the country and go back 2 india within 2 days.

the guy was on tourist visa of 1 month to meet his cousins,... over there.

The moral of this story - "Don't try sarcasm with Customs, they'll only get you in the end...."

What I dont understand is ... Military and other Major US gov organizations make this kind of mistake all the time... why does the press see it necessary to report (Over Kill) on this one kids instance .... just seems wierd ... and I live in US and My father is in the military 🙂 ... so go figure

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that an entity "courting" a human would sorta imply a different meaning. Sorry FraX. I was attempting to be facetious.

FYI:

"Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)"
Court Court, v. t. imp. & p. p. Courted; p. pr. & vb. n. Courting.
1. To endeavor to gain the favor of by attention or flattery; to try to ingratiate one's self with."

With a latex glove.

But it's very true: Customs officers are deliberately trained not to have a sense of humour.

They're also thorough. Last time I tried flying they had me put my jacket through the X-Ray; they asked me to take off my hat and wristwatch so they could examine them ... and this was on a local flight so they never bothered to find out if I was the person the ticket was for - I shudder to think what international passengers would go through. I took the train back. No checks whatsoever.

They never looked at my shoes, though - they'll probably do that next time.

Blanket Jackson :rolleyes: 😃

I'm sure with all the David Nelsons that are trying to get their names changed, the terrorist can just go in and get it changed.
