FOREMAN GETS GRILLED - 10/01/06
Former heavyweight boxer George Foreman, who has reached popularity again with his range of cooking appliances, was held by security for 4 hours at the Miami International Airport today.

Security would not allow Foreman, who had been doing promotion in Japan, back into the country as he could not provide the fingerprints required by federal law for entry. An accident over 15 years ago while using drain cleaner resulted in chemical burns to both his hands, and the loss of most of his fingerprints.

A spokesperson for the MIA, Terry Noble, said "It has been an unfortunate misunderstanding and the airport sincerely apologises to Mr Foreman." He also stated that a review of the procedures at the airport had been launched to prevent the situation arising again.

The airline and federal beauracracy are so scared and unimaginative that stuff like this happens all the time. They'll prevent babies from boarding because they have the same name as someone in their database, really ****** stuff. They do that because they don't want to be fired from cushy jobs for screwing up and exposing their incompetant bosses.
