A freelance reporter from Chicago coming to cover Olympic-related stories in Vancouver claims he was denied entry to Canada following hours of interrogation at YVR. The man says border guards felt he was a security threat.
Martin Macias Jr. says he arrived at the airport Saturday morning, but adds he was hauled away for nearly seven hours. "They were particularly interested in my recorder and microphone, and looking through my contacts to see what contacts I had."
Macias Jr. was a member of "No Games Chicago" -- that city's opposition movement to the 2016 Summer Games. "I said 'OK -- I'm ready to be transparent about that -- and tell them whatever they want to know. That wasn't the case. It never came up. They didn't care about that."
