British police take man off of plane, suspected of terrorism after listening to the Clash (I'm not kidding)

I hope someone is paying this man a very large sum of money right about now.

British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday.

Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.

The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash's 1979 anthem "London Calling," which features the lyrics "Now war is declared -- and battle come down" while other lines warn of a "meltdown expected."
You can listen to "London Calling" here. This is the music I grew up with. This is ridiculous.
