I think the USA is a bit upset

BAE bosses detained at US airport



Two executives of defence company BAE Systems have been briefly detained when they landed in the US on business.


Chief executive Mike Turner and an unnamed senior colleague were spoken to when they arrived at Houston airport, and had electronic equipment examined.


US officials are investigating corruption allegations involving a huge arms deal between BAE and Saudi Arabia.


I don't think the USA would stoop so low as to offer bribes to buy their aircraft, would they?
