Guido Menzio, an economics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was working on a differential math equation as the Syracuse-bound plane was preparing to take off from Philadelphia.
這位教授名叫吉多·門齊奧,是賓夕法尼亞大學的經濟學教授,他搭乘的這趟飛機計劃從費城飛往錫拉丘茲,飛機起飛前,他正在演算一道微積分算式.
The 41-minute flight was delayed by two hours as the olive-skinned, curly, dark-haired native Italian was questioned.

A blond-haired woman wearing flip-flops and appearing to be in her 30s had passed a note to a flight attendant. American Airlines flight 3950 returned to the gate at Philadelphia International Airport and was met by what he described as an "FBI-looking man in black."
就因為一位30多歲、穿人字拖的金發女性給空乘傳了一張紙條,這架美國航空3950航班不得不回到費城國際機場的登機口處,接受一位"貌似來自聯邦調查局的黑衣人（據門齊奧說）"的檢查.
He learned the woman thought he was a terrorist.
門齊奧這才了解到,原來那位女性懷疑他是恐怖分子.
After realizing he was only doing math, the flight took off minus the complaining passenger. The woman boarded a later flight for Syracuse. Menzio boarded the original flight again.
