Perhaps you have a spouse who you’ve just had it with. Or, a guy at work who sits twenty feet from you on the trading floor though you wouldn’t know it because when he audibly chews his food it’s like you’re inside his mouth. You can’t have them killed, you figure, but holy Christ if you have to see or hear them for one more second you’re just going to snap. Enter: a great idea. Next time they have to leave the country, get one of your influential friends with the Department of Homeland Security on the horn and have the offensive parties added to a list of terrorist suspects, like this guy did. They won’t be bothering you anymore.

An immigration officer tried to rid himself of his wife by adding her name to a list of terrorist suspects.

He used his access to security databases to include his wife on a watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is ‘not conducive to the public good’.

As a result the woman was unable for three years to return from Pakistan after travelling to the county to visit family.

The tampering went undetected until the immigration officer was selected for promotion and his wife name was found on the suspects’ list during a vetting inquiry.

    First rule of adding your spouse’s name to the DHS list, use the same color ink.

    Rule #2 – spend so much time enjoying your new found freedom that you don’t stand-out for a promtion at work.

    “A watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is ‘not conducive to the public good’”

    Isn’t there a risk that an inbred twit like HRHP Charles won’t be able to get back in too?

    Obviously a ‘fat finger’ incident.

    She came from Pakistan. So she was probably at some Al Qaeda training camp. Also the fact that she was wearing a suicide belt is a strong indicator of her presence in the country is ‘not conducive to the public good.
    Just my 2 cents

    Dude, you lost me when she stated: Even though this was his third attempt to kill her, she is still standing by him.

    Meh…

    Nah. According to the article, he APPLIED for the promotion. So, his fault.

    Dixsi Normous says: “I’m sorry for my offensive remark. My mother didn’t stop breast feeding me until the age of 14. So needless to say, I have harbored abnormal feelings about my surroundings for a long time. I now sit in my office, at age 43, and suck on my wife’s dildo while posting on DB.”
