Khan said immigration officials at the airport detained him for questioning after they said his name was flagged.

"They kept on telling me that my name is common to some name that has popped up on the computer, so they need to follow procedure," he said. "It took them an hour and a half, two hours; they kept on asking me questions, if I could give them any ... numbers in America that they can contact and vouch for me and who I am."

In 2008, Newsweek named him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world and his name was flagged.

Well, obviously who Newsweek consider powerful, and who really is powerful are not the same. I suspect the most powerful people in the world keep themselves hidden behind the scenes.
