A man has been charged with assaulting an off-duty pilot as they walked off a plane in Kansas City.
Edward Foster, 49, had just landed at Kansas City International Airport on April 12 when he took offense with an unnamed pilot - who had not been flying the American Airlines plane and was simply traveling in the cabin.
The 49-year-old is seen in surveillance video walking off the jetway directly behind the pilot, before they both head into the terminal.
Then, about 60 feet from the gate, Foster is seen trying to make his way around in front of the off-duty pilot. KSHB reports the Kansas City man was attempting to take a picture of the pilot's badge.

Bizarre. There’s not enough details in this story. Had they had a confrontation earlier or was the passenger perhaps drunk or stoned?
"...push their arm away..."
49 years old and you work this hard to get on the no fly list? What a loser.
Good thing he wasn’t an 87 year old trying to carry on a large can of hairspray, the TSA would have had him tackled and on the ground in 2 seconds.
I wish we could get reports of what kind of prescriptions these angry people are on.
If you watch the entire video, you get a chance to see a uniformed man who is either the world’s most ineffective security guard, or possibly TSA agent.
Wow. This moron has some issues. Flying these days is a pain in the butt anyway. He should have just chilled.
what is UP with people nowadays?....so close to the edge....geez...
no doubt, Obama supporter....hate on against airlines.
“Taking up too much room in the aisle.”
You know how people are when the plane stops and the seatbelt light goes off, they are insane.
Maybe the pilot stuck his butt in the perp’s face when he was getting his bag.
That may be, but Mr. Angry is now up on assault charges. Was whatever the pilot may have done in the aisle worth that?
Two security types are in uniform watching all this and do nothing? One looks like a TSA type.
I've flown my share since the '70's and have always encountered these types at airports. Always in a hurry and usually really vocal with desk agents about one thing or another (usually about how important they are).
Nice how the security officer went out a different door and circled around to do ... absolutely nothing.
Looks like this dude has some anger issues. Yeah, airports can’t get crowded and frustrating. Especially in Kansas City - hate that airport. A good dose of patience goes a long way in these situations.
this seriously passes for news? 2 men arguing and shoving in an airport?
Blue shirt. TSA.
TSA = thousands standing around
