It's even worse if, just before leaving the UK, you innocently give away your UK SIM card to your cousin because it still has credit on it and you think that your cousin could use it.

Then, the SIM card is supposedly found in a vehicle which is used in a bomb attack on Glasgow Airport. (It wasn't - it was found in the cousin's home.)

You are arrested, detained, lose your job, lose your residency and get sent back to your original home country.

At the end of it all, with millions of dollars spent on the investigation, you are not charged with anything and are cleared of any wrongdoing.

However, you wait in vain to be reinstated back into your job, or get re-offered your Australian residency or even receive an apology from the idiots who jumped up all the charges in the first place.

Such is the case of Dr. Mohammed Haneef in what will go down as one of Australia's finest moments of shame - unless it gets buried under the carpet.
