TPM:

If nothing else, in the spirit of DWB, I think this incident may give rise to a new slang acronym EIATSAPBWA -- Extremely Ill-Advisedly Trying to Smoke in an Airplane Bathroom While Arab.

'Diplo Immunity Ain't Kryptonite, Buddy' Update: This is really turning into quite a tale. This graph from the Times ...

A federal official said that the passenger went to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette,and was confronted by air marshals on board the plane. He understood he had diplomatic immunity, and made sarcastic comments that they took as a threat, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

I mean, are we really to believe that this guy took his having diplomatic immunity as free rein to crack a joke about need to light his shoe bomb? I'm curious whether under international law a diplomat can be expelled from a host country simply for being a raging c@#k.
