Released Guantanamo detainee Sami al-Haj faked weakness and the inability to walk off the US Air Force plane once it landed in Khartoum. According to DoD spokesman Navy Commander Jeffrey Gordon, the aircrew who brought him to Khartoum on a military transport said he was relaxed, standing up, walking around during the entire flight.

He can be seen being carried off the plane on a stretcher, wincing as if in pain.
