PressTV... Faye Kenyon-Cairns (L) with her baby, Harvey, and grandfather Paul Kenyon The call came after Harvey Kenyon-Cairns’s grandfather, Paul Kenyon, made a simple error while filling out a form for his grandson, The Guardian reported.
Kenyon, who was filling out a US visa waiver form for the baby, mistakenly responded “yes” to the question, “Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?”
“I couldn’t believe that they couldn’t see it was a genuine mistake and that a three-month-old baby would be no harm to anyone,” said the 62-year-old.
The three-month-old’s first overseas holiday, which involved a flight to Orlando in Florida, was subsequently refused by authorities.
‘Expensive mistake’
Since the officials said they needed to question the infant, it was taken from his home in Poynton, Cheshire, to the embassy in Grosvenor Square, London, a trip that reportedly took about 10 hours.
“Baby Harvey was good as gold for the interview and never cried once. I thought about taking him along in an orange jumpsuit, but thought better of it,” said Kenyon. “They didn’t appear to have a sense of humor over it at all and couldn’t see the funny side.”
Apart from the trouble, the “expensive mistake” mad cost the family an extra £3,000.
“It was a very expensive mistake, but I was hoping the US embassy would realise that it was just a simple error without us having to jump through all the hoops,” said Kenyon. “If you were a terrorist, I suspect you’d not be ticking yes on the Esta form anyway.”
The grandfather further stated that his grandson has “obviously never engaged in genocide, or espionage, but he has sabotaged quite a few nappies in his time, though I didn’t tell them that at the US embassy.”

Mustafa... What a sick question and low IQ the admin in the USA have. Does any terrorist even if he is one will answer the question in positive "Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?”
[observer] The bureaucrats of the US are mindless robots programmed to discriminate and exterminate their designated enemies. They are both ignorant and arrogant. This is the worst combination of attitude. It's no wonder that this happened. This is the first time it has been reported as the applicant is British. Many other cases have taken place, but they have never been reported in the western media.
USA has too many enemies... Absolutely idiotic. USA looking for TERRORISTS? Look in Washington DC +4
