Exactly my point earlier, and I'm glad you brought this up.  Especially NOW 
that air travel passenger manifests are so tight.  It is my expectation that 
there is nothing illegal about someone in the right position in the US (or 
elsewhere for that matter) that has a bone to pick with whomever to find that 
their plane is going to be grounded while in "their" air space and then it's 
over.  Sure, the plane gets some free fuel and gets airborne again quickly 
but I feel sorry for the guy/girl that thought they were on a "No-stop" fare.  
For copying some MP3's or even M$ latest advanced server edition, I doubt it.  
But I think it all depends on the person with the bone to pick.  A collar is 
a collar and setting precedent  in the courts of the world is surely the best 
thing any law motivated "person" can do in their lifetime.  Unless they set 
more precedence!
