The Spanish were denied to search the plane, for the record.

Edit: I inaccurately wrote Austrians.

    Austrian journalist tells me: Bolivia did not give
    permission to have Morales' plane searched, but airport
    policeman allowed to walk through

"Walk through?" If it turns out snowden was hiding in a cupboard millenium falcon style I might actually die laughing.

Turns out my suspicion was right. But I had nothing at that point to confirm it.

Still, Bolivia's story is slowly falling apart.

Please at least read the article before you comment.

They did indeed search the plane.

They did search the plane according to the foreign ministry's Twitter https://twitter.com/Minoritenplatz8/status/35232163910871449...

I am not sure that makes sense anymore, considering that Spain is denying they ever denied the plane entry.[0]

AIUI France and Portugal denied entry, so they landed in Spain for fuel. Corrections welcome.

They are still flying to the Canary Islands to refuel: http://www.flightradar24.com/ (FAB1)

Updated at 14:40 UTC: landed at Las Palmas.

Are you sure about the code? I am getting some plane over Canada.

The full code is FAB-001.

That was the Callsign code. Well, at least it was working for me back then.

Reference?

The article claims:

> Morales refuted speculation that Snowden had stowed away on the plane and allowed authorities to conduct a search.

You mean they denied they searched the plane, or they tried to search the plane and were denied?
