Big difference there. NATO isn't primarily a black or white organization as many people from many nations with different backgrounds work for it. Of course someone white would be unusual for an AME church, but that doesn't preclude the possibility that they belong, nor would I think it relevant.
Anything out of the usual raises questions. That is why El Al verified
Traveller's story but did not call me about those who flew directly here from their home countries or who had simply made a connection in Europe.
(Indeed, if
Traveller had just said that she was doing some touring and wanted to visit both Turkey and Israel, there probably would have been no problem. Throwing in the FlyerTalk Meet was just enough to put it over the edge.)
It is not a question of what is or is not relevant. It is simply a matter of what stands out from the crowd.
