How arrogant, how selfish and how Stupid!
"An American Airlines pilot arriving in Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, was jailed Wednesday after he protested new procedures requiring the fingerprinting and photographing of all incoming United States citizens by making what Federal Police officers described as an obscene gesture."
"Eleven other crew members on the same flight from Miami were refused entry to Brazil and detained after the police said that they had refused to be fingerprinted and behaved in a "derisive" manner. They were ordered to return to the United States on the next available flight, which was to leave Sao Paulo on Wednesday night." Read it here .
Where does this attitude come from? Are they not from the country that allows itself to fingerprint anyone it wishes? Are they not from a country that fingerprints Brizilians? So, what the hell are they complaining about when the same thing happens to them when arriving in Brazil!
Those Americans who think their government should be allowed to do whatever the hell it wants to other nationalities, should realize that even if they arrogantly feel "superioror" to other nationalities, they really are not. So they better stop complaining about this. In fact, all nations whose citizens are fingerprinted in the US should do the same to the US citizens. If it is insulting, it is insulting to non-Americans too.
Meanwhile Reuters reports that the arrogant pilot "who was arrested for raising his middle figure in a photograph that was splashed across Brazilian newspapers, was fined nearly $13,000 before being allowed to leave the country" It continues that "A Reuters photographer at Sao Paulo airport said police had received almost nonstop phone calls of congratulations for arresting Hersh (the arrogant pilot) and forcing him to surrender his passport.
