Flight 131 departed Akron Canton on time, the EAPIS manifests were filed timely and approved by Customs and Border Protection.About two hours before Flight 132 returned from Cancun back to Akron Canton,ImaQuitter, decided to leave her job and never come back because she thinks her boss is ugly and smells bad.In the meantime, the return EAPIS report was never filed and when the plane landed in Akron Canton, it was immediately met by several CBP Officers, DHS Officers and Law Enforcement Officials.There were three drug traffickers who presented real documents but used other peoples Mexican Passports to board the plane in Mexico.Two of the drug traffickers immediately asked the CBP officers for protection under the Asylum Laws of the United States.The other person was required by CBP to be flown back immediately to Mexico at the expense of AirEastandwestInc., despiteCBP knowing that this third person was a United State Citizen.The third person used someone else's Mexican passport to come to the United States to hide the fact that he was a United States Citizen.CBPalso issued a civil penalty to AirEastandwestInc. for $50,0000 for not following the EAPIS regulations regarding Flight 132.
