The furious FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, his drunken insult was "unacceptable". Luke yesterday admitted he fired off a single email criticising the US Government after seeing a TV programme about 9/11.
He said: "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."
Luke, of Silsoe, Beds, said it was "a bit extreme" for the FBI to act.
He added: "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy."
A Beds Police spokesman said: "The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language. We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, 'Oh dear, it was me'."
Officers will take no criminal action.
Joanne Ferreira, of the US Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred.
She added: "We are prohibited from discussing specific cases."

It said the e-mail contained threats, so the division of the FBI that was protecting the President probably took that seriously, somewhat like saying "bomb" in an airplane.

It's debatable but if the reasons for banning is justified I wouldn't call this nonsense.
It's irresponsible behaviour for someone to write an e-mail to higher authorities with sobby insults. Being drunk can be just an excuse, who the hell knows.

If the FBI seriously went nuts over this, then National Security's weaker than we think.
Where's Obama's comment to this?

I wonder if they'll ever release the contents of that e-mail. If so, it might be better to reserve judgement until then.

The United States is required to keep records of everything it does electronically including emails. Notewise, that is why all twitter records from the white house twitter page and all re-twitters are recorded and stored somewhere. This email is probably sitting somewhere as a record and can be requested through the Freedom of Information Act unless it has been deemed a threat to national security. Or is labeled as classified.
Note, this is why presidents before Obama was seen as not technically sound. Disregarding the computer and usually hand-wrote or just called that person in need through a phone. If it was personal, it didn't need to be recorded, and if it was for business purposes it would have been typed up by someone later. And yes, the president does have access to a computer. It is located off in a side-room connected to the Oval Office.
