That passenger was released from custody and allowed to take a connecting flight."

Poor guy has some GI distress, and he makes the national news!
I talked to one of my partners today who is Nigerian. He laughed when I asked him about it and said, "Don't you start!" His comment was that this kind of behavior is out of character for Nigerians who are "fun loving and jolly!" |
It wasn't Nigerian profiling. A man put together an explosive device in a bathroom before landing. They made a rule now that you cannot get up or go to the bathroom an hour before landing. This man was insistant on going to the bathroom and was there for a long time. If I had been on that plane, and it were ANY passenger acting like that, I'd be pretty scared especially since the other incident was the day before. Poor guy only had to shit but it's better to be cautious and safe than sorry.
