The passenger was eventually allowed to 'enter' for the purposes of check-in and allowed to board their flight to GUM, but they say it was not without some scary moments.
So they are taking the position that any protectorate or territory of a country does not qualify as a third country? Ie for the US; Guam, Saipan, USVI, Puerto Rico, etc?
