the blind are protecting us

Yeah, it wasn't Yusuf Islam that was on the terrorist watch list, it was Youssouf Islam. The ineptitude of the federal government (and spelling abilities of the TSA comparable to the oration abilities of the President) was responsible for Cat Stevens' plane to be sent 600 miles off course, incoveniencing the crap out of a bunch of passengers, and denying a man his perfectly legal rights to enter this country, according to Time.

Worse is the fact that it goes to show that the people watching our borders are A) totally inept at identifying specific individuals and B) slow as hell at doing it. Don't you feel safe?

Yusuf, by the way, is planning to sue. I hope he wins.
