Yet another guy who didn't get the memo

Bruce Schneier reports on a guy from Sweden who got upset with his daughter's husband and so, the son-in-law setting out on a business trip to the US, emailed the FBI that said son-in-law had links to al-Qaeda.

The man, who admitted sending the email, said he did not think the US authorities would stupid enough to believe him.

Fat chance. The son-in-law is greeted in Florida with handcuffs, interrogation, and 11 hours behind bars before being shipped back home.

The incident, no doubt, has since been forwarded to Commander Guy's speechwriters as yet another example of glorious success.

Achtung, Dude, you may be next.
