People make up stories all the time. We can only guess what the reason is here. I have just one word. "Nigeria."
With regard to that last comment: I think we can now predict what we will hear, from PHXFlyer, in response to comments posted by anyone who reveals themselves to be something other than a white, Aryian-looking type. Since my appearance matches the latter, I shall note PHXFlyer has created a separate category for me. Congratulations, PHX, you've transformed yourself into the poster boy for what's wrong with Delta Air service from the perspective of Nigerian airline regulators. Lets see PHX, you haven't started-in on the world's major religions yet. Perhaps the next post will be a slew of anti-Semitic comments?? I can hardly wait to see your airline buddies defend the above garbage.

My comment wasn't racially motivated at all. Simply Google the words "Nigeria Fraud" and see what you get!
Nigeria is the source of billions in fraud. Even the FBI has classified a particular kind of fraud as the "Nigerian letter" scheme. In case you have missed all of the internet, newspaper and television coverage (both 60 Minutes and Dateline NBC dedicated an entire hour to it)
here is a link to a Wikipedia article about some of the fraud which is perpetuated by Nigerians via the internet on people all over the world. Even a respected University Professor of African Studies in the UK was quoted as saying, "The availability of e-mail helped to transform a local form of fraud into one of Nigeria's most important export industries."
So, Butch, I was only referencing a fact. It is entirely possible that this whole story was fabricated in order to commit some kind of fraud against the airline by filing a bogus claim that thousands of dollars of personal items were "illegally confiscated" and then "donated to charity."
No racial bias here. Simply stating that if it doesn't sound right and it's in any way tied to Nigeria...it's probably fraud.
