So the plane should’ve just waited on the tarmac for him to finish his phone call? Do we have to wait for every pantywaist passenger to get off the phone, or can the airline actually schedule their planes for certain hours of the day?
The first thing you posted on this thread was this article doesn’t give enough details. Then you proceeded to promptly forget that fact. I’m not really sure how it played out. But neither are you. Who was responsible for getting the stat police on the plane?
So you think the hysteria by the other passengers and the wait for security to show up didn't leave them sitting on the tarmac? All of your remarks are those of a deranged leftist. This guy did nothing wrong, other than not to submit to a bunch of jack booted thugs posing as security and passengers.
This is the kind of crap you get when people like Napolitano(sp?)tell people to be on the look out for suspicious behavior. We have paranoia running wild and innocent citizens being thrown off planes.
It's alright with you of course because giving up your civil rights, and those of others, is just A-Ok with you as long as your flight gets there on time, right?
Actually no. All these regulations about "electronics" are about controlling sheeple. I am annoyed by folks on cell phones, but the idea that they are some sort of threat to aviation is absurd. Even more absurd is the idea that my computer, mp3 player, conventional radio receiver, etc. are some sort of threat. It's a wonder that they don't make everyone take the batteries out of their watches.
