Travel News - Brazilian Pilot Detained, Execution Scheduled

The Eschalot Article (Satire) (http://www.theeschalot.com/040124-pilot-detained-execution-scheduled.html)

"FLUSHING, New York - Flights in and out of LaGuardia Airport were interrupted for several hours Friday night after an incident involving a Brazilian pilot and a TSA security official. The official, who was not named, said he was "treated in a disrespectful manner" by the pilot. The pilot was brought into custody and held at the airport until police arrived. Barring intervention by Brazil, he will be executed Monday afternoon.

"We have to send a message that we're serious about security," said Warren Kroeppel, General Manager of LaGuardia. "This pilot represents all pilots and passengers that think they can thumb their nose at our security efforts. With this execution, we hope to set the record straight."

Satire was outlawed last year with SB 1984 -- didn't you know?

Spiff, I would look for a hidey hole right now pronto swiftly. The federalistas will be after you as soon as I can say "4 Q 2".

Were you ever in Missouri? Ashcroft was defeated for election in Missouri, and rumor has it that everyone who has ever been in that state is now guaranteed at least a visit from the Federal Urban Citizens Knowledge Kommission.

Ah, did a Brazilian pilot flip off one of our boyz? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Why execute him? Just make him fly around the US on Southwest for a week and that should do it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Be sure to fine him(or his airline) $30K.
