#4 "State Department officials arrived and ordered Maduro and the others to spread their arms and legs to be frisked by police"
The fact that he had to be "ordered" by a State Department official suggests to me that it's time to refuse him visas. Personna non grata. One way trip home.

#5 (Cause)
The two countries' relations - strained for several years - took a particularly confrontational turn this week, when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, speaking at the annual U.N. General Assembly, called President Bush "the devil."

(Effect)
he went through," a metal detector (Which must have gone off)
Maduro said when one official ordered him to go to another room for a strip-search, he refused.(I don't have to obey the laws, I'm a legislator, I make them for the lesser Peons to obey) He told CNN en Espanol that the official pushed him and yelled at him.

(Result)
CAUTION Sharp learning curve ahead. Picking on the Bigger, Stronger, Meaner Guy is very poor snarts.

#7 I wish the security folks had ruffed him, cuffed him, and tasered him twice for good measure. I mean beat his ass good with the stick and the sap. Maybe take a few teeth out. Then slap the punk on the next plane to Caracas--no medical treatment allowed beforehand--and tell Chavez that if he doesn't like what his FM just got, that's just too damned bad. Lesson: don't screw around with the security folks in a foreign country and you won't have anywhere near the problem you'll have if you do.
