Nalini Ghuman, an up-and-coming musicologist and expert on the British composer Edward Elgar, was stopped at the San Francisco airport in August last year and, without explanation, told that she was no longer allowed to enter the United States.

Now this is absolutely just wrong from the word "GO".
The total bureaucratic BS of this is actually not surprising for this country, meaning the U.S.
The state department won't give an answer simply means, from my POV, that they know they were very wrong in this, yet won't own up to it since they possess not one ounce of honesty or decency.
It stands to wonder how this very corrupt government still continues to exist in its present day form, and not collpase under the weight of its complete and total incompetence.
Another thing, is that the department of homeland security is a complete joke and always has been.

You know, my sister asked me two days ago about why do I travel to Japan via Paris, when the flight via USA is much cheaper. I told her that there's two reasons: I find it ridiculous to get a USA visa to go to Japan (we don't need visa for EU countries), and that things like the one described here can happen. She did not believe me, but I guess now she will.
