And he's not even a Yank!

A (former) Air France passenger, Jean-Jacques Jauffret, is suing the airline after he had his waist measured, was told he was overweight and charged for an additional seat last year. M. Jauffret is asking for €8,000 and for reimbursement of the cost of the additional seat. M. Jauffret said that he was "shocked and humiliated" by his treatment.

Humiliated he may have been but he should not have been shocked. M. Jauffret weighs in at a svelte 160 kilos. Would you want him jammed into the seat next to you?
