So if you want to come into your country to blow up something, there's no great problem if it's in the course of a holiday trip - but if you're down as doing a gig of some kind while you are there they check you out rigorously. Somehow that seems the wrong way round.

What a strange place. I remember when I went to the States many years ago being asked at the passport control in New York whether I had any intention of overthrowing the government of the United States. I was tempted to say "Not unless the opportunity arises in the course of my visit", but I bit my lip and kept quiet. These guys don't like jokers, and I could tell they didn't much like my hair and my beard anyway.
