I was kind of sympathetic to you before, but not after this comment. The other passengers saw a bag with a bagel in it, so he has no right to be on the plane. I can't believe how many "Citizens are the property of the government" types there are on FR.
Next time you are on a plane, imagine if police come up to you and treat you like bin Laden. I'm sure you would love it.
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?
Yeah, I was falsely accosted for shoplifting once, and ended up in an altercation with the store detective. The point being that I never would have imagined myself acting as I did, but I was outraged. Luckily, nothing came of it.
If you search this guy’s name you can get his course list, and professor ratings from students, which are largely complimentary. Also, he was the student of a celebrated Russian mathematician, getting his degree in 2002. I pictured him as some kind of dumpy old guy, but Google scares up a picture of him and he appears young and thin, if not exactly handsome.
He would appear to be a total math head, minding his own business, and I’m sure he never knew what hit him.
