“Kathleen, this letter is, in fact, for Lee Harrison, whose article of today on airport security measures I have just read.
“Lee, your article about your experience in the Panama airport is a perfect response to anybody who asks me, ‘Why on earth I would want to leave the U.S.?’
“As a person who was not born in this country, but who carries two passports, I understand all that you’re saying about having more than one residency and more than one citizenship. I wanted to let you know that, from now on, when someone asks me that question, I am not going to attempt to explain my reasons to them. Instead, I will say, ‘I won’t give you an answer right at this moment, but let me send you an e-mail that will give you some idea of why I’m wanting to live outside the United States.

“Thank you for being so precise and clear in describing your experience. Great writing!”
–Riana R., United States
