Yeah, that’s what I would have done. Cooperate with the authority present there. Just have relaxed. It would habe been funny to watch them shout “Allahu Akbar” as they approached the Capitol and knowing your plane is being guided by 19 men out on the biggest suicide mission in history is well; Interesting.
