Interrogated by the FBI
Richard McAuley and I were the only male Caucasians in the large 'Holding Room'. The rest of the people, men and women of all ages and a scattering of children, were mostly dark skinned. The majority of them looked like Arabs, or what you would imagine Arabs might look like. Richard and I were taken out of the line at the Passport control. Once our passports are put into the computer it lights up like the Christmas tree at Belfast City Hall. So over the last decade or so, we have come to know Holding Rooms from Los Angeles to San Francisco and all the points of entry in between.
