You may have read about it in the news. An American Airlines pilot was arrested entering Rio. Seems he objected to Brazil's retaliatory fingerprinting and photographing of all incoming Americans.

Apparently the Brazilians didn't take too kindly to his gesture of appreciation.

And he got fined 18,000 $ (AA shouldn't pay the fine, let him pay for it)
