Another Flyboy

Just Swell:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A university student from Egypt was ordered held without bond after prosecutors said they found a pilot's uniform, chart of Memphis International Airport and a DVD titled "How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act" in his apartment.

I'm thinking, perfectly innocent behavior. He's an illegal who's been here seven years attending university. " My school is everything," he says.

Well, who's been paying the freight? Has this illegal person been getting government assistance for his school? Has he been working? If not, where has the money come from?

How did he get caught?

[A] company reported Maawad to authorities when he didn't pay for $2,500 of merchandise.

If he had paid, and he was part of a second wave of dime store pilots, we'd likely be reading about him along with a bunch of obituaries.
