Clinton harrassed at Belfast International Airport?

Interesting comment on TalkBack just now, from Dr Daniel Kowalsky, a US academic at Queen’s University Belfast. TalkBack’s focus is on the xenophobia experienced by Dr Kowalsky, but the comment touched on a story noted here previously, the non-welcome for US historian Catherine Clinton. In contrast to the official line from Queen’s, as reported on the BBC at the time, Dr Kowalsky described that event as his colleague being “harrassed and then deported” at Belfast International Airport. If true, there might be more to that story that first appeared.
