Hey Dub, don't know ya but I'm sorry to hear about your father.
That's really hard...mine was diagnosed with leukemia last year.
Warm thoughts to your family.
Now then, as for Gildenlow...I have given up on PoS coming back to the States anytime soon, but I doubt it has anything to do with the process of leaving there/getting here.
I don't think he's sitting at home and musing to himself, "Boy, it would be great to tour America again, but these security regulations have made it impossible!"
I doubt it even crosses his mind to play here anymore.
PoS aside, most "security" methods aren't all that great or reliable because it's too easy to fall through the cracks.
Good for Europe for being proactive, but uhhh...having someone's fingerprints on file in an office in Europe isn't exactly gonna do much when the person to whom the fingerprints belong decides to do something "terror-related" elsewhere in the world.
I might be missing the point...or I'm just especially bitter and cranky this morning.
Meh.
What's to be done?
...I'm-a go cook me some pancakes.
