Come on, do you expect Cat Stevens to try to blow up a plane? Or Ted Kennedy?

The issue seems to be that he was not supposed to be allowed entry into the US. Agree that landing short proabably wasn't necessary, but don't know all they know about why he wasn't supposed to be on the flight. Certainly a different situation than Ted Kennedy who is still allowed in the US.
Bangor has a little cottage industry going handling problem passengers off international flights, so maybe the feds wanted him up there.
This does clear up some confusion for me. Some things I've read about Islam may have actually referred to Cat Stevens.
