Just reading this...I hope it's not true. However, in the media, you're guilty until proven innocent. Why (if these guys weren't on a layover) do we need to expose their profession and who they are employed by??? I'm sure that the media doesn't shame the poor bastard from McDonald's who gets a little intoxicated and gets in a bar fight. I'm not condoning their actions (if they engaged in such said bad behavior)...but who really cares who/where they work???

Default Maybe ...

Perhaps they thought the fare was unreasonable since they had to help the cabbie clean the taxi, pick up newspapers and re-buckle the seatbelts at the end of the trip

I guess if the two men were software engineers the story would be fiction. I bet they were Navy pilots with flash backs of the PI.

Maybe the company can rename one of the airplanes "Jailhouse Blues" in their honor.

Heck, this would get less press if these guys were US Senators.
