fine. can you say persona non grata?
seriously, demand that his diplomatic status be pulled. this was nothing more than a test run for someone. he was trying to smoke a cigarette, my ass. smoking has been banned on US flights for over 20 years, don't try that lame ass excuse.

Good thinking Doc, all kinds of stuff to consider.
Diplomatic Immunity has been used a few times before to cover not just the Diplomat but his family and staff.
Just one Diplomat could bring 35 staff members to America turn them loose to bomb or riot and when they were caught they would be free to leave the country. Yupo, in the past family and or staff members of Diplomats have committed murder, robbery, rape, you name it. These people are above the law and are free to do as they wish.
Had that Bozo on the plane actually been found with a dangerous device, a bomb or 50 pounds of drugs, he well knew his worse punishment would have been to be sent home.
I don't imagine Diplomats or their staff have to go through security, anyone from a Muslim Country can dress up terrorists and pass them off as their wives, who would know they weren't female, or bring some Black Widows along as his wives.
An Embassy is official sovereign land to the country that holds the land, I know of one in New York that for the right price any one from that country can get #SS cards, birth certificate, drivers licenses and a bundle of counterfeit money. When I say I know about this one I mean through word of mouth from the people that BRAG openly that they are spending the weekend in N.Y. to [ buy ] new identification.
The Feds are powerless over these Embassy's, they have to stand by watching as tons of drugs are moved in trucks and vans registered to the Embassy.
You may be on a roll here Docstew, this may be the Gate they use to come in destroy us from with in.
