Customs Agent 5 minutes later...

Customs Agent: "Father O'Reiley, Grandma Jones...you'll need to step aside for your strip search"

Crowd: (moans, groans, howls of derisive laughter)

What we have here is a dumbo. Saddam is not a dumbo; in fact he is a very intelligent sociopath. Apparently his issue married a dumbo, or some recessive genes manifested themselves, or both.

[Pokey78]

What a brilliant dude. His name must be Shemp Hussein.

[SBeck]

Put him in max isolation and let our interrogators go to work on him. Then send him back with programmed instructions.

Customs Agent:"Any fruits or vegetables?"

Saddam:"Um....no."

Customs Agent: (stamp, stamp stamp)"Enjoy your stay!"

So that's how he slipped in, the devil!

He wasn't asked about nuts.

rir, something perhaps relevant I just posted on another thread (from the Air Lines Pilots Association website):

This is a NWA MEC Hotline recorded at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 2, 2002.

This Hotline contains information about a security alert and a MEM Local Council meeting July 8.

SECURITY ALERT (7/02/02)
Some flight crews from other airlines have reported being the subjects of obvious surveillance by Mid-Eastern looking males and females. This activity was reported in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London. The surveillance was reported as having taken place in layover hotels and other locations where crews congregate, for example, restaurants and pubs. The persons conducting the surveillance seem to pay special attention to aircrew luggage and conversations. Please be alert to the possibility that you may be the target of a surveillance operation. Report any similar events, including specific information if available, to the NWA Security Department and ALPA.

IMHO,these people are incredibly brazen.

This man is a New Zealand citizen employed by Air New Zealand as a Ground Engineer. He is also a licensed Flight Engineer and was in Miami to do re-current training. He has 1000's of hours of flight experience. New Zealand is none to happy over the number of international laws that have been broken, including being interrogated without the NZ consulate being informed.

Why are people jumping to conclusions? Doesn't this smack of racism? I am sure that Saddam's step son simply believes in the American Dream and wants to go to a flight school to provide safe and competent piloting for the country he loves. This smacks of racism to suggest that just because this young man is the step son of Saddam Hussein, who may have had a hidden hand in 911 and who wants to wipe us out, has anything but pure motive for attending a flight school. The next thing you know people will suggest that if he has maps of Washington DC., a box-cutter, and a vial of some strange substance that he is up to something. We cannot but assume that he is going to flight school purely to provide competent flying skills to the citizenry of the country in which he is living. We should applaud his interest in improving the life of the traveling public.

Sadam Hussein himself could put on a NY Yankees cap and enter with little or no problem.

It worked for Hillary.

Or on the other hand, worst case scenario, would be he is infected with small pox...... I would seal this guy in a tight bag.

[Torie]

Ya anything is possible. Stamp out all the Bayesians.

[Jhoffa_]

You really should be a defense attorney..

[phasma proeliator]

New Zealand is mad at us...!?

OH NO....That's really really too bad!

[John W]

Too bad NZ.

This man is a New Zealand citizen employed by Air New Zealand as a Ground Engineer.

MIAMI -- A man believed to be Saddam Hussein's stepson was arrested tonight in Miami on immigration violation charges. He came here to study but did so on the wrong visa.

Muhammed Saffi arrived in the U.S. on Tuesday. He landed in Los Angeles on a flight originating from New Zealand. He then made his way to South Florida with the intentions of attending a commercial airline flight school.

He is currently in FBI and INS custody and will be transfered to the Krome Center.

WSVN has recieved information that Muhammed Saffi has been living in Auckland, New Zealand for a few years with his family. As of last year he was working in a secure area for Air New Zealand as a flight engineer.

People in New Zealand didn't see him as a risk. They describe him a a quiet man, a nice man.

His mother, a former flight attendant, was a mistress of Saddam Hussein in the late 80's and they later married.

Stay tuned to WSVN Channel 7 for the latest on this developing story.
