10 to 1 a TSA agent gropes him upon arrival at Newark. 
That’s assuming TSA doesn’t send his ass back because he’s on a No Fly List. 
Rumor has it that he’s known as somewhat of an agitator in his homeland. Sure hope he doesn’t have any shaving cream or shampoo in his carry on.
Welcome to America Mr. Chen, the land of the TSA and Homeland Security.
I’m assuming everyone is well aware of the prolonged diplomatic struggle it took to win Chen’s freedom of travel from China. Hillary had to intervene personally during her visit.
Otherwise this joke will fall flat. 
It’s just a shit joke. Didn’t really have enough smilies to make it work.
Whereas if you are aware of the context, it’s just in incredibly poor taste. :rolleyes:
Google shows 10 pages of links for TSA Jokes. Everybody who flies has a TSA joke. Jokes make the ordeal of Flying in today’s crazy paranoid security frenzied TSA a little more tolerable. There’s a lot of irony that a person escaping from a totalitarian system’s first experience in America will be a TSA grope. Most of my jokes are more bitter irony than satire because that’s the way I roll. Somebody has to make jokes about a system that’s groping 85 year old senior citizens and 4 year old kids.
I bet you guys hated Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor too. There jokes weren’t up to todays tight ass PC standards either.
Whatever.
But why would he be groped on arrival? You go through security on the way to board the airplane. Customs and Immigration aren’t TSA.
I got groped by the TSA on my way to Las Vegas on Monday. The dude was not amused when I asked if I got a happy ending.
<shrug> I thought maybe he was catching a connecting flight from Newark to somewhere in the U.S. Newark is International and most people connect from there to wherever they are going.
I’d imagine he’ll get a special escort through customs. The article said he carried no passport or Visa. He was ejected from China rather hurriedly. 
But you amused me just now in the retelling, so it was worth it in the end.
If you have a connecting flight after you go through Customs you have to be re-screened. I had the pleasure just this past Thursday. And a good thing, too! In Saskatoon they didn’t even make me take off my shoes. Og only knows what nefarious plot I might have been up to!
