Creeping paranoia

Deported for making a home movie? I really hope security doesn't make trains as unbearable as planes.

He's not being deported for making a home movie. He's being deported because he was stopped by police and carrying fake identification papers -- it just happened that he was stopped because he was making a videotape on a train. I'm sorry the man is being deported (but my views on America's screwed up immigration system are a different issue), but I do think it was fair for fellow passengers to be concerned, and I think they did the right thing.
