Keep your pants up, Ditto's post was anything but speculation! It's exactly the info available to airlines all over the world (Timatic). It does answer transit visa questions, and you should thank him/her instead of giving "nasty" replies. As for experience, if you hoped to find many Americans in FT who preferred to spend 16 hours at AMM instead of spending $56, well you should fly to Las Vegas instead. The chances for a jackpot are clearly higher.
