Re “IRA-Allied Politician Detained at Airport,” March 18
One would think a “lengthy inspection” at Reagan National Airport of someone on a terrorism watch list might have taken place before the “suspected terrorist” visited the White House. According to your story, Gerry Adams, leader of the IRA-allied Sinn Fein party in Northern Ireland, attended a White House St. Patrick’s Day ceremony and was given the “inspection” on his way to New York after the ceremony. So much for security.
