#1 Sounds perfectly logical and reasonable to me. He seems to have real papers, so since it is a zero-sum game, his timing is off on airline schedules, which freaked out security. A name like Abdul Haye Mohammad Illyas who does not show is a bad thing to have happen.

His background will have to be checked out closely to see if his excuse is real, or is a bunch of BS. Maybe Air Phrog will be insisting on asking questions of their passengers in the future to prevent cancelling flights. Maybe they can learn from El Al (nah...never happen...).

#2 Wait, doesn't this guy own a cellphone? He was supposed to be in England at a trade show, according to his family. I thought that comment was odd at that time because all they had to do was call him. What trade show, where and where was Scotland Yard to check up on him? This thing's 6 weeks old.

He shows up now? And why didn't he just decline the tickets if he didn't intend to use them?
