Anger after girl, 12, held at US airport.

In tonight's Edinburgh Evening News, the following brief item appears:

"USA: Polish officials claim a 12-year old girl from Poland was detained at Newark Liberty Airport for nine hours by customs officials, who threatened her, after they discovered her brother was in the US illegally."

What? She wasn't tasered? They must have decreed an amnesty for little girls, on account of the name of the airport. It's all I can think. Or your police are getting soft and wussy.

2. You know, I'm always amazed at the lack of COMMON SENSE shown in situations

like this. Small minded people who can't make decisions on their own. It's embarrassing.

9. Nedd Ludd is an iconic figure to me, but I have second thoughts, when

I read of things like this. It's a frightening thought that someone in a managerial position must have been behind it.

I'd confused the LV Sun with that other pack of ****'s who are suing everyone for breach of copyright.
In the meanwhile I noticed that the original link was below.
