Talking of Homeland inSecurity. A 60year old Japanese was caught while trying to self-learn English language in plan bound to Dayton, Ohio. George O. was 20 years late (2004) but we are getting there fast. guardian.co.uk Passenger Arrested for English Exercise Monday August 2, 2004 4:31 PM CHICAGO (AP) - A Japanese man flying to Ohio was arrested after he was seen writing down the words ``suicide bomb,'' but he was released without charge after explaining that it was an impromptu English exercise. The 60-year-old man told investigators he came across the words in a newspaper and wanted to look up their meaning, police spokeswoman Alice Casanova said. ``He teaches himself English by reading newspapers,'' she said. ``It was all just a miscommunication.'' The man was aboard United Airlines flight 1184 en route to Dayton, Ohio, on a business trip Sunday when a fellow passenger spotted the words and alerted an attendant, Casanova said. The flight returned to O'Hare International Airport, where the man was taken into custody and all of the other 120 passengers were taken off the plane and rescreened. Investigators also searched the plane. ``Nothing panned out and he was released,'' Casanova said. Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Andrea McCauley said travelers need to be mindful of how they behave on airplanes because potential security threats are treated very seriously. ``We caution people not to write about bombs because if they're going on vacation, their travel plans will be disrupted,'' she said.
