This explanation borders on the ridiculous. You are claiming that the president and vice-precident of Bolivia turned their plane around of their own volition and then fabricated a search by Austrian officials in order to create an international diplomatic scandal.

I am claiming nothing of the sort, you are putting words in my mouth. I am merely suggesting that everyone is very quick to jump to conclusions when very little is factually known at this point. The guardian's liveblog is covering all of this better than I can explain here, so I'll defer to them: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/03/edward-snowden-a...

Well, the article has a quote from an Austrian minister that they searched the plane, not sure how that could be taken any other way.
