"It is simply unacceptable that a private individual can have such powers over other passengers without any substantiating evidence.

But it wasn't a passenger who threw them off the plane, it was the pilot. The pilot is not a private individual. He is the captain of the aircraft, and personally responsible for the safety of the passengers. But what can you expect from a commie government like South Africa?

I wouldn't even glance at this complaint against state owned South African Airways until I recall South Africa has the highest murder rate in the world. Oh well a suicide bombing involving an SAA jet won't make the dreadful carnage in that country any worse than it already is. I mean what's another act of mass murder? Considering the current state of the world, it seems we've become inured to a lot since 9-11. After we just saw His Ugliness feted by our Secretary of State, it makes one wonder if we've really learned what happened on that day.

You can expect them to abide by international treaties.

Shame on you!  How can you say such a thing?  Don't you know that now that the Apartheid government is gone, the South African government is magically the most righteous government in the world?  </sarcasm>
