I tried to change the flight level by PATCHing altitude, but it seemed to require authentication. Oh well.

This sounds like a good way to meet some upset people with expensive sunglasses shortly after you land.

It's not like that at all. The sunglasses aren't that expensive.

I imagine trying this and meet those people while my name is Mohamed :D.

PS:It is sarcasm and actually this is my name.

Maybe you can take risks like that, but I certainly can’t. I don’t think anyone with my name or skin color would be given the benefit of the doubt for even a moment.
