Austrian detained upon entry into the USA
An unusual incident at a US airport is currently causing a stir. An Austrian citizen was stopped and temporarily detained by border authorities while attempting to enter the United States on a tourist visa.
The reason for the measure was the man's behavior during passport control. According to official reports, the traveler was unable to articulate himself in an intelligible language. Instead, he spoke in a manner described by experts present as a completely made-up and incomprehensible fantasy language.
Psychologists who investigated the incident confirmed that the man's utterances were not a known idiom or dialect. The authorities therefore had to clarify whether there was a security risk or whether there was a medical cause for the strange behavior.
The man is currently in the custody of US authorities, while the Austrian embassy has been informed of the case. It is now being examined whether the traveler will be sent back to his home country or whether further medical examinations are necessary.
