ARAB-AMERICAN JOURNALIST SAYS HE SUFFERED "TORTURE" AT MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Miami New Times ^ | 11/25/15 | KYLE MUNZENRIEDER

Photojournalist Kim Badawi has a global family history but is an American citizen. Of Slovenian and Egyptian descent, Badawi was born in France, frequently works in the Middle East, and is currently based in Brazil, but his parents are both Americans and he received full citizenship at birth.

Despite his blue U.S. passport, though, Badawi claims he was detained at Miami International Airport for ten hours and endured "physiological torture" Sunday while on his way home to visit family in Texas for Thanksgiving,

Badawi chronicled his harrowing experience on Twitter.

That's right, SoFlo - and the very WORST form of torture is the kind that doesn't even leave a mark!

You would think that being a photojournalist he would have some pictures of his ordeal.

Was he beheaded?

Oh, only muzzies do that sort of thing.

Do these evil dirtbags not realize that we don’t want them here? I certainly don’t want to go to any muzzie nation. I wish the stinkers would leave.

These muslims are going to start suing every time someone glances sideways at them. Watch for it - they’re gonna have everyone so paranoid about being sued that nobody is going to even question them.

Hey, journalist clown, since 9-11 every American flyer undergoes some form of torture when traveling.

Another one of Barry’s Xeno crybabies. He could stop the “torture” by going home to France.

“There are many reasons CBP officers decide to examine someone; some referrals for additional screening are for reasons other than information in law enforcement databases, such as the individual’s circumstances of travel or random selection," the agency says in a statement. "CBP does not assume that travelers have done anything wrong — because very few travelers actually violate the law."

Wait' ...random selection," the agency says in a statement.

So I can be randomly selected for an interrogation based on "randomness" ? ...

I hope he never has to renew his license at the DMV. He’d probably die from shock.

Well, I for one am disturbed by this event...

Besides his whiny and female first name, the guy has a real reason to complain and sue....

I can understand he was detained, but for 10 hours ?

Certainly, they could have ascertained his situation in a few hours...

We nearly died from shock at how nice we were treated at a Tennessee DMV office this past week...nice as pie. The COMPLETE opposite of the harpies from hell at the DMV in Concord, Red Hampshire.
