Australian author wrongfully detained at LAX

Mem Fox, a respected, award-winning, 70-year-old writer of children's books, who has travelled to the USA 116 times previously without incident, was wrongfully detained for 2 hours at LAX.

Full story here.

Apart from all the other concerns regarding human rights and just plain decency, I wonder when the US government, businesses and people will wake up and realise how much this behaviour is going to screw the US tourist sector?
