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.
I donât know what started this, but you can put money on this much: if he was held for ten hours, his behavior, beginning with the initial contact with immigration staff, was the reason.
For some of these young people being without social media for 10 hours is “torture”.
He has granny hair.
We share your pain every time we fly.
If he doesnt like the treatment he should blame the Muslim terrorists that make it necessary. THEY are the ones who are responsible for the suspicion, hatred and extra scrutiny.

I thought USAir (AKA Skid Row Airlines) was out of business.
Now THAT was torture.
...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.
Here in America that’s called normal travel.
US Air merged with American Airlines but kept AA name.
I believe they were trying to save the guy, he was going to Texas and he is a muslim? no?

Did they have CNN on every monitor? Drives me crazy too.
Angry, defiant ugly-a$$ passengers should get extra scrutiny.
What kind of torture?
electric wires on his nipples? needles under his fingernails? or did they make him listen to Streisand songs?
... ARAB-AMERICAN JOURNALIST ...
Well which was it? Arab or American; he can’t be both.
He’s a microjihadi waging microjihad.
Passive aggressive bullying.
