Has the US already started to implement Donald Trump's suggestions or is there more to this than Mohammad Tariq Mahmood is telling us?

That was a brother that wasn't travelling.

Still the same close family.

depends on what the likely effect on tourism to the US
Get a visa - pay 9k - and get booted off the flight - and everyone gets to keep your money that you have paid.

The moral of the story is to go elsewhere ....

Svejk's link may offer a clue

///CBS News reports two of the brothers in the Muslim family group, stopped from boarding a flight to the US, 'hit positive for terror checks'///

Why should we be surprised that that they didn't allow you in, AOG - try an entry to an African country like Syria next time - they may let you in.....

[ummmm]

Baldric....according to the news this morning it's something to do with facebook and the viewing of al-Qaeda pages.

DTC, that was a quote from the main Muslim man featured in the story not AOG

[Svejk]

I can see the beeb dropping this story like a hot potato, lol.

[Svejk]

I'm guessing DTC is making a funny.

[DTCwordfan]

I know, baldric, but if I was a US immigrant thug, I would be hesitant with AOG's passport coming up for clearance.

[DTCwordfan]

yep, svejk, well read.....

[Baldric]

#Ok, sorry, but I didn't laff!

[Svejk]

I'd be kinda surprised if we haven't already done that, db.

I would imagine U.S. immigration would have no problem with aog entering.
They admire patriots over there.

To interject a little humour into this, I would just love to see a muslim band lamenting their woes thusly: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=why+is+everybody+always+picking+on+me&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-003
