The Mind Creative
But it would have been no laughing matter had the over-sensitive US Department of Homeland Security been alerted to the
fact that, in the driver’s seat of this American car with a New
York number plate, was a Pakistani man with an Australian
passport. My wrong left turn might have rung alarm bells and
prompted the anti-terrorist squad to swoop down on us. I could
have been accused of attempting to use a rental car as a Weapon
of Mass Destruction in the heart of Denver!
Nothing of the sort happened. My journey continued and my
American experience remained pleasant as ever. Even my driving
record in the US remains without blemish!
