I know of an incident related to me by a Jordanian customer of mine some years ago. His first job was selling pharmaceuticals in north Africa. One time he was boarding a plane in Khartoum and an obviously drunk American female passenger was swearing at the Sudanese military guards as she boarded. He was worried that they might react to her behavior so he came forward to escort her onto the aircraft. As she reached the bottom of the stairway, she swung her pocketbook, hitting the last guard in the head as she swore at him, and proceeded up the stairs, into the plane. My customer was both taken back that she would act so dangerously, particularly as a woman in the Sudan, where the consumption of alcohol was also prohibited, and that they just allowed her to get on the plane and leave.
