Coming back from the Virgin Isles soon after the Cuban missile crisis I was picked up by the Miami Harbor Patrol, platinum blond hair and all, under suspicion of being a Cuban refugee. A few years ago hit a similar barrier (terrorist watch list) while trying to fly to the Bahamas. Makes you want to re-read your Orwell and chant "Loose lips sink ships." -- Sully Yeah, a paranoid atmosphere casts a wide net.

You were ahead of your time! I'll be sure to spend a moment or two in silent commemoration of this incident while I'm at the Denver airport tomorrow night. Although it's a different airport now, and I'm sure the security staff is much more light-hearted these days.

Sometimes people have no sense of humor...sounds like a memorable moment. How many people have been kicked out by security with Michael Moorcock. -DNW Wow…haven’t thought about Akbar for a while, though I did see one of my copies recently.
