I wrote a few days ago about the state of arts immigration in America. The picture isn't pretty. I ran across this news item today which illustrates why many artists from around the world are simply bypassing America. And it's Americans who lose the most as a result.

Mr Khan according to Huffington Post is the most recognizable face on this planet with fan following in every continent. Looks like its a case of mistaken identity and TSA preferring to detain him (CYA approach). Fortunately Mr Khan is well connected and was able to make it to Yales in time for the ceremony. Apparently this is not the first time he has been detained even though TSA has his biometrics and other information in its database.
Mr Khan a superman in his own right -
