Don't Be A Jerk When Boarding a Plane for London

Writer Peter Kurth relays the harrowing tale of his ill-fated flight to London in which, after acting like a complete American jerk, was incarcerated in London's Wormwood Scrubs on charges of endangerment (and various other vagueries). It's both a sad and enfuriating story told mainly in excerpts from a diary he kept during his two month stay, one where an openly gay, HIV-positive man is placed among some of London's worst criminals for having a nearly expired passport, having a father who converted to Islam, and the aforementioned jerkery. Very scary stuff....
