An American tourist from Pennsylvania was prevented from
entering Brazil because he poured water over a baby that
had been crying during his flight from the US to Brazil.
His bad behaviour started in the US and caused him to be
refused boarding access on his flight from Miami to Sao
Paulo, and again he was kicked off a flight from Brazil
(after having spent a day in police custody in Brazil) back
to Miami. Police said later that he was drunk.
This is the second incident involving a US citizen at
Sao Paulo Airport in January 2004. Two weeks ago, an
American Airlines pilot was arrested and fined almost
$13,000 after making an obscene gesture while being
photographed by immigration officials.
