Man Put On "No-Fly List" While In Air To NYC
An unnamed man flying from Nigeria to New York City found out he was added to a no-fly list somewhere above the Atlantic Ocean, when the plane stopped to refuel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Officials won't say what he did or why he was added to the list after he had already boarded a flight. He was not immediately charged with a crime and Customs and Border Protection will only say that he is a "potential person of interest." From the article: "The man, a citizen of Gambia, was not on the no-fly list when he boarded the aircraft in Dakar, Senegal, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly."
Do they still put Parachutes on airliners?
"Hi, I'm your stewardess. Would you like chicken or beef for your meal?"
"Oh, and please give me your shoes and underpants."
"It's just normal procedure, sir."
The poor captain: "Good Morning Air Traffic Control, I have some chop here, request permission to climb."
Air Traffic Control: "Fuck the chop . . . you have a no fly passenger on board . . . good day!

Of course he was on the no-fly list. He wasn't a fly, after all.

This man is Nigerian Royalty and was delivering my $2.7 million!
That's a cynical and inaccurate view on the situation.
He also had a beard.
Now they have to go through channels to get the kid removed from the NFL.
Tell him to try dog fighting.
