It looks like CBP twigged there was a problem, but then failed to do anything about it.

Thanks for posting an update.

At JFK, after a selection for secondary related to passenger identity questions -- something the fingerprinting process was supposed to do reliably especially when it comes to those deemed inadmissable to the US and sent back from a US airport of entry in recent years -- isn't the norm that the flagged person gets an escort and has the passport and/or customs declaration form taken from them thus making it somewhat difficult to exit the baggage claim/customs hall, if even making it that far?

He had been denied admission in the US when presenting himself at a US airport before.

Apparently it was his fingerprints that got him "selected". http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...t-8441318.html

So much for spending big money on technology when the people and processes using the technology are subject to be no better.
