He is an American citizen at an American airport.
Your attempts to deflect the issue is desperate.
The use of that word, in the context of this thread is absolutely sickening. Not surprising in the least though.
Perhaps you may wish to
consult a dictionary:
pa·tri·ot
1. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.
2. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, esp. of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.
3. ( initial capital letter ) Military . a U.S. Army antiaircraft missile with a range of 37 mi. (60 km) and a 200-lb. (90 kg) warhead, launched from a tracked vehicle with radar and computer guidance and fire control.
The word seems pretty applicable here.
