Reply to comment by al_pacappuchino in N.Y. to pay $5.5 million to man exonerated in writer Alice Sebold rape case by OutsideObserver2

You do realise that, in your story, he must have already had the drugs on him when he boarded? In the US? And he had drugs in his pocket?

Besides the fact that whatever your target destination might have been might not have laws against marijuana, the story does not make any kind of sense when accounting for someone who supposedly smuggled marijuana in his pocket through US customs...when flying.

US? No dude. My coworker had the thing on him the hole way from start to finish. It was a flight from Stockholm to Paris. Don’t be so americentric.

I once accidentally smuggled weed into Paris. Had a roach in my wallet.

You're writing in English. How was he supposed to know your itinerary?

So English defaults to the us, even if the majority of people on here from all over use it to communicate? Men du kanske föredrar att jag skriver på svenska för att visa var jag kommer ifrån. Problemet med det är sångröster inte så många.

In the absence of any other information about location, is it that outrageous a guess?

I don't think poster was being americentric, but patiently just saying "No, actually I was speaking of a flight between Stockholm and Paris" would have been kindly informative and helpful, without the "stupid Americans, think everything is about you" comment.

But as always you're free to be as triggered as you wish here.

It's not an outrageous guess. However, it wasn't a guess, it was an assumption. And that's a pretty outrageous assumption.

I've taken a small amount of cocaine on a US flight twice. Only cause I didn't realize I had it, but yeah went through no problem.
