My original posting was as much for the families of the detainees as for the miscreants themselves. You could argue that they knew the risks and shouldn't have gone, that's of no help to wives, children, fathers, mothers...I could go on.
Aviation is a world-wide affair, we can all get in trouble in a foreign land through misunderstandings and I'd like to think that we're a network with similar interest in aviation - we don't just do it for the money, as I'm sure we all remind ourselves when that meagre paycheck arrives.
