Bobby Fischer once called Japan a "puppet state" of the US.
Guess they didn't take to kindly to that.

His intelligence must be going, trying to get past customs on an invalid (expired?) passport was stupid.

He lost his title as world champion in 1978 and then largely vanished from the public eye. He lost his title in 1975 when he refused to play challenger Karpov. FIDE did not agree to his (Fischer's) match conditions.
