Not so furious and not so naked SAA pilot at Harare airport - As always the media has twisted this story totally for sensational purposes - Here are some facts about the incident:

1. Yes the Captain did put his trousers through the X-ray machine.
2. No he was not furious - it was meant as a humurous act of protes.
3. No he was not naked - Still had socks,shirt,tie + underware i.e. showed less than average lady passenger in mini skirt! Must be his knock knees
4. No this incident did not occur in view of any passengers.
5. No the Captain was not officially arrested or charged.
6. No the Captain was not removed from the flight due mental concerns but purely for practical operational reasons
6. Yes the flight was delayed for +- 4 hours because he was illegally detained by security personnel wanting an african handshake!
7. Yes the Captain is back flying but with braces keeping his trousers secure!
