"British teen, Luke Angel, banned from United States for life for offensive e-mail to President Obama"

"**92**-dialing can get you in trouble with your girlfriend.

**92** e-mailing the President of the United States, however, can get you banned from the country - permanently.

That's what apparently happened to Luke Angel, a British teen who sent a curse-laden message to the White House directed at President Obama.

"The individual had sent an email to the White House which was full of abusive and threatening language," a police spokesperson told the British newspaper, Bedfordshire On Sunday.

Officers visited Angel at his home in Silsoe, a town in Bedfordshire, England, during which time the teen admitted to sending the e-mail, although he couldn't remember what he wrote.

"I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was **92**," he told The Sun. "But I think I called Barack Obama a pr---. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."

His e-mail, however, was brought to the attention of government officials who didn't find it quite so funny.

"The police who came ‘round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever," the 17-year-old said.

But the young man was apparently not upset over his being shunned by a country.

"I don't really care," he said, but "my parents aren't very happy about it."

The U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security and is in charge of enforcing immigration law, said it "would not discuss" specific cases. A spokeswoman, however, did tell the Daily News that "there are a variety of reasons why a person could be banned from entering the United States."

She noted that, through the Immigration and Naturalization Act, there are more than 60 reasons a person could be denied entry. Among them are health concerns, immigration violations, as well as security concerns."

Amusing. It might be a bit harsh, but somehow I don't mind.

I'm curious. Would a ban like this result in them being banned from the official 50 state America, or also from the US territories like Guam and Puerto Rico?

Homeland Security is very secretive about all this. I suspect what it means is going onto a relatively short Secret Service list of folks who have made threats against the president (It would have to have gone a lo-o-o-ong way past calling him a prick) and whose movements would be tracked whenever the president travels.

I searched     for the "**92**" thread, but of course, no joy.

Three beers and two-thirds of a bottle of Pinot Grigio, which isn't all that much for a "day off" filled with:

Repotting 12 foot tall potted trees with/for a neighbor, and...
Repairing (replacing) not one but two/BOTH sideview electric (motorized) mirrors on a late-model Jeep Grand Cherokee for another neighbor (a two-beer job by itself, and doable only because I'm more persistent than the last guy who stripped all the screws), and...
Teaching yet another neighbor, who, pushing 70, has never sent or received an email before: how to get online, launch Firefox, log into Gmail, etc...

...SO, now I'm home (walked, not drove... obviously) from a friend's house after a very nice pasta (with bits & pieces from Trader Joe's and the Sunday farmer's market) and doing the best I can to type this with the laptop scalding my bare (and manly ) thighs.
