Hey, got a fresh story for you. I actually had to do the translation from French myself because nobody else is covering it yet, but it's pretty amusing. More bouffonnerie at U.S. Immigration.

I'd tell Earl, but there's no graphic potential at all, really. http://4gfc.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/french-woman-on-family-vacation-denied-entry-to-ny-by-u-s-govt-because-name-alic-aida-sounds-like-al-qaeda/
Dammit! My bad. It got picked up in English by the Telegraph earlier this evening. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/10788395/French-woman-with-name-sounding-like-al-Qaeda-placed-on-US-no-fly-list.html
