https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/16/baby-us-embassy-interview-visa-esta-terroristOn the part of the Esta form which reads Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide? Kenyon ticked yes instead of no.
He only learned of his error when his grandsons travel was refused. I couldnt believe that they couldnt see it was a genuine mistake and that a three-month-old baby would be no harm to anyone, said the 62-year-old.

Baby Harvey was good as gold for the interview and never cried once. I thought about taking him along in an orange jumpsuit, but thought better of it, said Kenyon. They didnt appear to have a sense of humour over it at all and couldnt see the funny side.
Hes obviously never engaged in genocide, or espionage, but he has sabotaged quite a few nappies in his time, though I didnt tell them that at the US embassy.

Because of course an actual terrorist would tick the yes box to that question.

No matter what his role, Alan Arkin could not hide the intelligence in his eyes.
