I call bullshit

I'm with you 100%. A lot of this just doesn't make sense.

When he mentions that he was 'invited' into the interrogation room he makes no reference to any aggression or hostility from his interrogator until this guy finds a book referencing the prophet mohammed amongst other religious icons and suddenly we have a complete psycho on our hands:

...holding up the book of quotes from the Prophet, proceeded to repeatedly scream 'Do you believe in the words of the Prophet Mohammed?' over and over again while standing one foot away from my face.

Whilst I appreciate there are probably a few unintelligent brutes defending the US as immigration officers, this particular guys approach appears to be lifted from a poor straight to TV movie.

I personally believe airport security and political correctness has gone completely over the top and I'm disgusted by the general level of ignorance towards the Muslim religion but this whole article reeks. I simply don't buy it.
