But of course, it has nothing to do with terrorism. The man just loves to fly. From [1] AP, with thanks to EPG:
Sami Abuhamatto, 24, was arrested Friday and was being held pending a hearing on Monday.There are no allegations that the case is terrorism-related....
Abuhamatto's six-month visitors visa expired in 1996, according to court documents. He applied for the pilot's license in May 2002, claiming he was a U.S. citizen born in Brookfield, the Chicago suburb where he lives, the documents show.
The Federal Aviation Administration approved the application less than a week later.
Authorities said they learned of the incident after Abuhamatto arranged a bogus marriage late last year in an effort to gain resident alien status.
