This is Getting Ridiculous: Smith - the name that set off FBI alarm bells

["Les Bell" <lesbell () lesbell com au>]

"ELIZABETH SMITH is hardly a menacing moniker, and not the most unusual
name - but it appears that was the problem for a 20-year-old student from
the northern beaches who has been denied a visa to travel to the US.


"In the latest in a series of glitches with the FBI's travel watch list, Ms
Smith's dream of working as a rock-climbing instructor at a US summer camp
appears to have been dashed."

I guess that somewhere out there, there must be an Elizabeth Smith with a
turban, a long beard and a Kalashnikov. . .
