4 pages, 2 figures. Added analysis of a real two-slit experiment

Scientific paper

A modified two-slit interference experiment, proposed and carried out by Shahriar Afshar [first reported by M. Chown, New Scientist {\bf 183}, 30 (2004)], claims to demonstrate a violation of Bohr's complementarity principle. We point out the flaw in Afshar's analysis and show why complementarity is robust and cannot be violated in any experiment which is a variant of the conventional two-slit experiment.
