You cause a ruckus on an airplane, it should be 10 years minimum in prison.

did not disclose the nature of the problem between the passenger and the flight attendant.

He must've asked the sky waitress for a Coke.

Wow yet another problem. Just about every day you hear of another one. Like I said, everyone is too high strung and paranoid for flying anymore. They see anyone looking Islamic they freak out. What they should do is just have seperate flights for muslims.

Allah Akbar beeyatch.
