I listened to the first part of the video, and the message I heard was Scott Ritter was about to board a flight but was removed from the flight and had his passport confiscated.Still attacking the messenger and ignoring the message. That's all you can do as your entire argument - flimsy as it was from the outset - now lies in tatters. Truly pathetic.
I wrote an explanation on why this happened (with some humor, of course). Personally, I think the law that allowed this is stupid. He was convicted of a crime and served his time, but now he finds, it's harder to climb (okay, a little more humor).
For whatever reason, the U.S. government decided U.S. citizens convicted of sex crimes against minors who want to travel internationally need extra wording on their passport. "International Megan's Law" was updated to include the wording on passports in 2017
