Same group that murdered protester Neda Soltani in the street, June 2009.

I know an Army Ranger Officer that was detained at an airport for trace amounts of military grade explosives on his hands from training. That was 6-7 years ago.

TSA sucks. My youngest was on a dedicated Military charter from Iraq bringing soldiers home for R & R. His sgt (in full military uniform) was pulled into a room for interrogation. Hispanic last name. They questioned him whether he was coming into the country legally. IN SPANISH. Apparently his answer was quite colorful, but the gist came out that his family had been American citizens for many generations and they needed to quit wasting his leave time.

How did this guy ever get a visa? If we can figure out who he is in about 10 minutes of searching on the internet, why couldn’t the people vetting these folks?

fyi it is protocol for all Customs Border Patrol officers to first speak to people in English...TSA does not interrogate for citizenship.

I searched PubMed and did not see publications from this person. It's possible I missed them somehow, but it is also likely that this is a post-doctoral researcher who solicited a research position in the US. There are tons of foreign Ph.D.s and M.D.s who come to the US to work in labs. Their goals can be very admirable, but it is also a potentially dangerous entry point for those who just want access to the US. Most of them are paid via NIH grants, generally to the principle investigator whose lab they will work in, and they are generally here on H1B visas.

In addition to all the other issues that need addressing in US medicine and science, the fact that so many US taxpayer dollars go to pay post-docs and researchers from abroad is a very significant problem. First, it floods the US market for bonafide researchers, and discourages US students from pursuing a career in science. Second, it is a pathway whereby US innovation and ideas can be co-opted to other countries. Third, it's an under the radar pathway for those who have anti-US backing to gain entry to the country. In my opinion, every US government grant to a US lab should carry the stipulation that no more than 25-30% of the funding can be used to hire non-US citizens. Too many US labs have no US citizens.

Another Basiji Iranian is sent home, without the opportunity to sample the BBQ pork of South Carolina.

I love it when things work right.

Speaking of Musloids, I’m using my cellphone so I can’t post the link, but I just read an article in the NY post that there were a number of acid attacks in London. A bunch of “goons” riding motor scooters threw acid in peoples faces. Anyone read This? Sounds like another terror attack to me
