A doctor from Leesburg, Fla., who allegedly disregarded several requests by flight attendants to put away the liquor bottle from which he was drinking and return to his assigned seat was arrested Sunday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

 

Moment of clarity?

He was drinking Bailey's? Now there's a way to get drunk nice and slowly. Maybe this guy was an amateur and trying to work up the courage to do something. Very strange.

After a second warning by the off-duty flight attendants was ignored, a working flight attendant convinced Ismail to return to his seat. As Ismail did, he commented that he enjoyed abusing flight attendants.

As the plane was taxiing towards the runway and the flight crew was reviewing the plane’s safety features, Ismail again got up from his seat and walked up the aisle toward the front of the plane. The flight attendant told Ismail several times to return to his seat, but he instead took a seat in the front row of the plane and continued to argue with the flight attendant.

End of story. I hope he enjoys drinking the potato alcohol he will make in his prison toilet.

Let that be a lesson to us all... Never fly while apparently intoxicated.

Bailey's?

Does he have an ulcer?

Anytime that I drink on a plane, I almost immediately fall asleep. I just don't understand how these people can get all wound up, for me it's like a glass of sedative.

Boy, you must be a cheap date.

LOL!

[Zeroisanumber]

Boy, you must be a cheap date.

Only if we're on a plane to New York. :-)

"Akram Ismail"

Hmmmm..... Me thinks there is more to this than a drunk passenger.

A Muslim drinking liquor? No pious Muslim would hit the bottle for sure.

They should have dragged his arrogant a$$ off the plane by his feet!

The Federal Air Marshal identified himself and twice told Ismail that if he did not leave the plane voluntarily, he would be arrested.

You know, I almost always comply after that first "You're going to be arrested if you don't ..." warning. Certainly after the second. What a bonehead.

Scratchin my head why TSA agents let him through with a bottle of alcohol ? oh wait...can't profile.

I wonder if there was any indication he was half-lit ? if so, why was he let on the plane in the first place ?

Plus, unless he left the plane, he would be arrested..does that mean had he gotten off the plane, he wouldn't have been arrested ?

Ive found that if you flick a lit cigarette at their face and mention something about their mother, most US Air Marshalls back off

:)

While it sounds like this guy got what he deserved, it's interesting that he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement "ICE" officers. These are the same folks who can't be bothered to arrest actual illegals in this country.

And if you attempt to grab a gun out of one of their holsters, they'll realize you're just a big kidder and let you go on your way.

Yes, going from your assigned to seat to one in an EXIT row is very strange.
