"SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) -- An American Airlines pilot was arrested
at Sao Paulo International Airport Wednesday after making an obscene
gesture while being photographed by Brazilian immigration officers,
police said.
The pilot, identified as Dale Robin Hirsch, raised his middle finger at
police to protest new Brazilian security measures that require U.S.
citizens to be fingerprinted and photographed upon entering the South
American country.
Brazil implemented the policy on January 1 in retaliation for a similar
U.S. program that requires those foreign visitors who need visas to have
their fingerprints and pictures taken on arrival in the United States."
But..but..I don't understand? It's perfectly normal to be fingerprinted
and photographed.
Does..does this mean that Americans don't like being treated that way??
B-b-but...why ever not???
