However, you cannot always be *quite* sure what vicious decisions will be
made to cut your head. A Pakistani chap bought once a return ticket from his
home country via a Middle east port and LHR to Canada. Everything went just
fine until it was time to return back home from Canada. He was denied the
access onboard because his given name and surname appeared in the opposite
order on his visa to his flight tickets. Appeals on the intellect of the
ground personnel didn't help him (obviously because such an intellect was
void) but he was forced to buy a fresh ticket to get home.
