Passengers Detained for Not Speaking English…Sort Of

May 7th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

5 passengers–4 Angolans and an Israel–on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Newark were detained for 3 hours because they were carrying pilot training materials and speaking a language other than English.  Turns out that the 5 men were heading home after attending a pilot training course (hence the pilot training materials).  This craziness will never end.
