Are you referring to when Amereicans would enter the country? If so this wasn't started by Brazil. They got pissed that Bush started doing it to Brazilians entering the US and out of spite they started doing it. Then an AA captain flipped the bird while getting his pic taken and that didn't help matters.
I have traveled to Brazil a lot too and you are right about all those things. I think these pilots are in trouble. Big trouble. They are not on American soil and are at the mercy of the courts there which is not a good thing.
