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.

I think you are all missing the point.... George Foreman has NO fingerprints. I repeat no fingerprints. Isn't that a little strange to you all?

As the original poster of this thread it was the fact that George doesn't have any fingerprints that shocked me, not the fact that he was stopped at the airport.

It must be borange to have no fingerprints!

I don't know? There's probably a lot of people who wouldn't recognize Foreman. Plus, the U.S. is so paranoid right now this could've happened to anyone.
