darxon discovered 5 months ago- DHS: Keeping you safe from two-week-old terrorists! From the page: "A 14-day-old infant traveling here for heart surgery died at Honolulu International Airport on Friday after he, his mother and a nurse were detained by immigration officials in a locked room, a lawyer for the boy's family said."

- The immigration gestapo has gotten out of hand. I hope the family has the names of all the officers responsible.

- From the page: "A 14-day-old infant traveling here for heart surgery died at Honolulu International Airport on Friday after he, his mother and a nurse were detained by immigration officials in a locked room, a lawyer for the boy's family said. The Honolulu medical examiner's office yesterday identified the infant as Michael Futi of Tafuna, American Samoa's largest village, which is located on the east coast of Tutuila Island. Autopsy findings have been deferred." This is such a sad story. Whoever was in charge at that time should be prosecuted! There's no excuse for this kind of idiocy.

- As AirIntake44 says, they arrived a 5:30am the baby went into respiratory failure at 5:50 and died. So if they were not detained they would have been waiting in line going through customs-- I doubt the outcome would have been different. Also note that the article states customs was not notified that the baby was coming for heart surgery until after the fact. For those who point out that it was a 2 week old that was detained-- what were they to do, detain the adults and let the 2 week old continue through customs? From the info given in the article there is hardly a call for an outcry over this. I do feel very sorry for the families loss though. Before I became a father I felt sad hearing a story of a parent loosing a child. Now that I am a father the sadness I feel for a parent who looses a child is much greater. **EDIT** This article gives more info that leads me to be a bit more upset about this situation.

- From The Page: Posted on: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 Baby held in locked room at airport dies Advertiser Staff A 14-day-old infant traveling here for heart surgery died at Honolulu International Airport on Friday after he, his mother and a nurse were detained by immigration officials in a locked room, a lawyer for the boy's family said. The Honolulu medical examiner's office yesterday identified the infant as Michael Futi of Tafuna, American Samoa's largest village, which is located on the east coast of Tutuila Island. Autopsy findings have been deferred. According to police, the child died at 5:50 a.m. It is unknown why immigration officials detained the mother, the nurse and the child. Scott Ishikawa, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said the child went into respiratory failure while in the customs office, which is located near the baggage claims area of the overseas terminal. Airport paramedics were called about 6:10 a.m., he said. The group arrived on a Hawaiian Airlines flight that landed at 5:30 a.m. "We were later told the baby was coming here for heart surgery," Ishikawa said. Attorney Rick Fried said the child had come to Hawai'i from American Samoa for heart surgery. The boy's family plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit, Fried said.

- Wait a second, the plane landed at 5:30 and the child died at 5:50. People commenting here make it sound like customs was being evil, but 20 minutes is hardly an unreasonable amount of time to expect to spend getting through.

- Thumbs up for good stumble, but many thumbs down for the idiots in customs. I feel safer.
