(London Independent) A Chinese student carrying a bulletproof vest was reportedly denied entry to the United States earlier this week, sparking a backlash online from social media users who noted the rise of mass shootings targeting US schools.
The student was going through security at the Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan when he informed security officials he was carrying the bulletproof vest, according to the Chinese-language newspaper World Journal.
Despite US Customs and Border Protection allowing the importation of “soft body armour”, officials made a decision to cancel the student’s visa and send him back to China, Shanghaiist reported.
