That's different than breathalazered which is what close talkers who don't brush their teeth well do to you

Why are all Europeans close talkers?

Maybe they're all low talkers. They always accuse Americans of being loud talkers.

Wow, what is a false positive on an alcohol test? They did a breathalyzer and then a blood test? I’d imagine Delta would be out for money too. That one article said Delta, under EU rules, is out near $400k in passenger fines as well as hotel and meal fees for all passengers. Delta also has a brand to protect. Europe is pretty ridiculous, things like this only add to the stereotype. They didn’t have a way to figure this out before it turned into a few million dollar mishap and defame a Delta pilot?

Yeah, unfortunately this is the way a lot of European airport authorities operate.

I remember in AMS they would have airport employees present when we got off the bus at the airport. They would approach crewmembers and start talking with them to size them up. Pretty bad in my book. However, when you are flying in someone else's country you have to abide by their rules.

It's pretty much common knowledge that they target foreign carriers; particularly the US-based ones.

So consider testing the hunch? Put 4 crew on the 3 man trip and have a bone dry plumber do the Foster Brooks act existing the van, heading to security. Nothing too obvious or flagrant of course. If they take the bait, that’s it. Euro plot. Which, face facts, is half Marxist since 1970.

No. There’s lots of things I don’t like. Being told what to do or how to feel, closer to the top.

Duck soup. Operation, catch me if you can. They (euro ports) are either guilty of profiling US crews or not. Doubt it personally. They’re using body imagery to nab suspects. No screening is 100% accurate.

If you act drunk in a US airport, they're going to test you too. Yeah, it's profiling, get over it. You write like you're drunk by the way.
