John Mark Carr in Business Class on Thai
 

When we flew to Bangkok last month (trip report to come), the king's grand-daughter was on our flight in Business Class. Today it's John Mark Carr and who knows how many American law enforcement officials.

U.S. officials are accompanying Karr on the Thai Airways commercial flight that is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles at 8:40 p.m. (11:40 p.m. ET).

Karr sat in business class and dined on paté and prawns, and drank champagne, a beer, and French chardonnay

That fool should have been in a dog cage with the rest of the animals. He is one sick puppy!

free ride home!!

eewwww!
our taxpayer $ at work?

On a lighter note, we're reallly looking forward to hearing about this summer's adventures for your clan, CCC.

I saw on MSNBC how they were making a big deal ovre the pate' and champagne. Don't all business class passengers get upgraded food free and don't all passengers get free alcoholic beverages? They're making it sound like Karr is getting something extra. And as weird as he may be, he's not charged with anything--yet--so what's the big deal? I'd think getting his tongue loosened would be good for the investigators riding with him.

And finally, MSNBC reported over a "Breaking News" chiron with live pictures of the LAX runway, that he would be landing RIGHT THERE in eight hours. That's breaking news, by golly.

My four children were really bummed that Mom and Dad were in the front of the bus and they were in the back. When they found out that even this guy rides in the front, they feel like they need a new family (or to go to work for the US government)!

I would imagine that a prisoner would be easier to control in business class than in economy but I'm not too pleased that like everything else, including the pensions and salaries of the government workers accompanying him, that we taxpayers have to pick up the tab.

its all so pathetic....who cares!!! he is just a crack pot, probably did not even do anything with this case....other cases maybe but probably not this case...

ccc anxious to read about how things went....did you boy end up in nana or was he at the penn when you arrived??

Bob, Luckily he was waiting for us when we arrived at the Peninsula. He had a truly fantastic experience with Ponheary in Cambodia.

read the reason he was in business class was because those were the only seats available. Agree, who cares what he ate?

Next time one of you want to fly business class from Asia back from for free, just go to the police and tell them you shot JFK, or you're the Atlanta Olympics bomber, or you're Osama Bin Laden, or something like that...

rkk - well the flight might be fun but customs, immigration and beyond would be a b-tch.

rkk---you made me laugh out loud....

Actually I'm Saddam Hussein - the guy they caught is one of my doubles - but I'm staying incognito because I don't want a free trip to Baghdad, even first class.
--------------------------------------

After the first waves of pre-invasion bombings of Baghdad Saddam's information minister, "Comical Ali", called a meeting of Saddam's 50 identical doubles. "My brothers, first the good news: our beloved Leader has survived the bombing of his palace!"
(Loud cheers, followed by a lone voice, "And - the bad news?")
"The bad news, my friends, is that his right leg has been amputated..."

Today the news showed the apartment Carr lived in...well...that building won't be on this forums list of places to stay! Happy Travels!
