Samyuktha Verma, a 20-year-old Indian movie star, interviewed at a hotel in Paramus, N.J., Thursday, July 18, 2002, talks about the ordeal she and her family endured when they at landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport Tuesday night. The Vermas' excitement over seeing the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty for the first time and the seat-jockeying, finger-pointing, and exclamations in a foreign tongue so alarmed one passenger that she alerted a flight attendant, fearing the group might be terrorists. Verma and her family were taken off the plane and into custody for four hours until authorities were satisfied they were nothing more than exuberant tourists. (AP Photo/Mike Derer)
