    In other news, interest in the well-being of Metallica and its members has decreased in recent years. Today’s incident, thought by many to be “a purposeful attempt to get free press”, was not expected to help except in the cultural area of “topics of conversation overheard in the men’s urinal at Hooters”.

    If you could ban someone admission to the country for having a braided beard, this I would totally support.

    &nbsp &nbsp Have mercy, Ms. Percy! Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill better get ready the next time they fly.

    Terrorist or not, that beard must violate some sort of law.

    So can the Taliban now sue him for copyright infringement?

    Prohibiting the mockery of St Anger is cruel and unusual.

    Guess the Brits don’t recognize an Amish beard when they see it. (Or see many Amish flying in airplanes, for that matter.)

    I wouldn’t detain that man as a terrorist for having a beard like that. On the other hand if he was illegally downloading music…

    Receding hairlines are so metal.
