QUOTE the Bahama Journal:
"A breakdown in communication between two essential United States departments may have led to the Bahamas Head of State, the Governor General Her Excellency Dame Ivy Dumont being subjected to a security search at the Miami International Airport, a well placed U.S. source told the Bahama Journal."

"Objecting strenuously to the “highly improper” incident, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Fred Mitchell told the Bahama Journal on Tuesday that his office had filed a diplomatic protest which would ultimately be forwarded to the United States Secretary of State Colin Powell."


Are they serious!!

# 1 - Never heard of this woman
# 2 - They are no 'better' than any of us and SHOULD be treated the same. If i have to get searched, or my grandmother has to get searched, than so should these so called 'excellencies'.

There are people that work hard all year and have to scrape pennies together who are also subjected to searches etc, but they are not heard of or any complaints sent to the US gov.

Fred mitchel needs to get a grip on reality They are using Public Transportation, so they are subject to the same laws and rules as everyone else.

All i have to say is sob sob sob! :cry:
