Even if there is a bigger reason for wanting her out, there is no reason for them to expose PRISM that way. Immigration officers already have rights to deny anyone without explanation.

I just don't find anything about that article logical.



USA Inmigration officers have a good record of not being logical at all.


But they are very consistent in not giving any reason or support to their decisions.


This particular case, if true, may have nothing to do with PRISM. A simple search of communications between the person and only her US contacts would probably result in a small amount of data to search, which could probably be obtained by DHS or CBP via the providers directly.


Good point, and one I missed. Thanks for helping clear things up.
