Anyone who tries to make themselves appear suspicious should be jailed. This jerk knew what he was doing by smoking when there are signs all over the place.
One thing for sure, you don't ever see or hear of an El AL msp (one of Israels plance) hijacked. They hire only the most qualified personnel to oversee bagage unlike the USA, where they hire ANYONE in the baggage room, ANYONE to check people, and ANYONE to do anything. Half of them are too lazy to even pick up their feet when they walk much less inspect thoroughly.

Jailed for appearing to be suspicious? Orwell must be rolling in his grave.

Yep...big brother at it's finest. Though we all knew they've had this in vegas for years. Give http://www.Riya.com a look.

Does being angry get you thrown in jail? I get extremely angry almost every time I have to deal with airport staff.
