Re: Brazil fines American Airlines pilot for gesture

I tend to agree that the fine is excessive but I am reminded of an incident that occurred when I was working in South East Asia in 1994.

I'm also reminded of the warning that is read out in certain countries by the cabin crew as you prepare to disembark... "Welcome to ******, we hope you have had a pleasant journey with us. We'd like to remind you that the penalty for trafficking drugs in this country is death. Have a good day."
