And you think the fact that he practices law outside the US and visits the US makes for an act of ABANDONMENT...?

At least they let him go. Other countries may have not.

2. They’re Keeping Records. A federal, computer-searchable file exists on my refusal to answer questions.
they'll be back. you got lucky.
3. This Is About Power, Not Security.
Truly, Einstein is your daddy.
Yeah, like Florida.
I've been travelling internationally for the past 40 years, and they always ask questions like that (both here and abroad). Answering with "none of your business" is just plain stupid.
Having never been put on the stand in court before, I told the questioning lawyer, “thats none of your business”...the judge got POed at me and told me to answer the question...I gave a none answer to the question but the judge accepted it....
It's obvious, ya wanted to speak to Obama's boss.
The dude is just asking for a cavity search.
Reminds me of this video

Good post.
I am shocked and ashamed at the answers I’m seeing here from freepers.
The lawyer was polite, but firm —courage.
I feel like I am NOT AT FREE REPUBLIC, seeing the idiotic answers here...
Congratulations; I doff my hat to you. I don’t know if I would have had the patience to have so courteously waited them out.
lol
I have a boot on my left foot, going through Jamaica security on the way to my ship. A female security told me to take it off and I said, “no.” She did a double take and asked why not. I told her I couldn’t get it back on correctly without the air pump, which was on the ship. She called over her supervisor, who patted down my pockets and let me go.
From Wikipedia:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) article 13 states that [...] everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
It may be difficult to block you from returning (where would you go?) but it is much easier to prevent you from leaving ever again. It's still against the UDHR, but since they are issuing passports they are firmly in control. They can deny you a passport for several reasons already.
I agree with you. Asked many times in assorted countries, you answer the questions and you go on your way.
