Actually it would be awesome to sit next to Snowden on this flight.

I wish Snowden good luck, but I wouldn't like to be in the same flight with him. I would be that such flight would have a higher risk of "an accident".

or suffer "mechanical failure"

Let us hope that the plane arrives :\ ..

It won't arrive.

idk, I'd probably happily put up with it if I knew that the hold up was Snowden related. Then again, I doubt that'd be made public in the aircraft.
