"Richard Bizarro, 59, could get up to 20 years in prison on charges of interfering with a flight crew"
Now I think this is going just a damn bit too far.!!
Okay children..you must raise your hands before you go pee pee.

Wrong. This was an entirely appropriate use of police authority. Follow the rules & for goodness sakes don't give airplane crews a hard time. He did this going into Salt Lake, too. Inexcusable.

He could have waited thirty minutes to go to the bathroom. What I would like to know is why did he give a thumbs up to another passenger as he returned to his seat? It was as if he was saying "screw you" to the flight attendant. This guy was a troublemaker.

These measures are ridiculous. Why don't they just have the marshals escort each passenger to the toilet at gunpoint, and frisk them before and after? No wonder people are refusing to fly.

Okay children..you must raise your hands before you go pee pee. Read the story. It says he was instructed to return to his seat AFTER .... and that's when he caused the problem

"Bizarro"?
To: Enemy Of The State
Because of the incident, air marshals aboard the plane ordered all passengers to put their hands on their heads for the rest of the flight. Thank you for flying Gestapo Airlines, now that we have landed in Salt Lake City you may now safely return your hands to the non-perp position. It has been a pleasure to treat you like Islamic Terrorists. Next time you feel the need to have your human diginity removed, remember us!
Outrageous. We are now guilty until proven innocent. Didn't the ticket agent get tipped off that the guy's last name was "Bizarro"?

What a contrarian.
They didnt go too far at all.
The skyMarshal said Bizarro[aptly named] gave a thumbs up to another passenger.
BAM...end of story.
It is not the responsibility of the skyMarshal to discern the intent of the thumbs up....once it happened...the planes cabin was properly frozen in place.
Bravo to the skyMarshals.

People are such idiots... I was flying into Reagan National near the end of December and they must have announced a DOZEN times that no one was to stand or move about the cabin for the 30 minutes prior to landing in DC and explained why the rule was in place.
At 30 minutes inbound, the pilot made the announcement that the policy was now in place, and 3 minutes later the idiot in front of me decides he HAS to get into his overhead bin. The guy was lucky he only had to deal with the flight attendent... The two SAC Generals sitting across the aisle from me did NOT look pleased.

Now it begins... We've lost the right to pee in an aircraft when we need to. Which of your freedoms will they take next. A little bit here, a little bit there. These small pieces all add up in the long run.

If the US Congress were not so busy investigating Enron and re-regulating business now, I'd suggest that they take this matter up. Unless I am mistaken, peeing and pooping are two areas of human activity that are not yet properly regulated by the federal government and it's high time they came under the wings of the federal regulatory agencies. Imagine that, an airline passenger deciding on his own when he needs to go pee (or poop as the case might be.) We are still uncivilized in some areas, are we not?

Now I think this is going just a damn bit too far.!! What are the rules and when did he know them? He will not get 20 years, but he better act reall sorry or he will definately make matters much worse for himself.

The incident was seen by two of three undercover air marshals on board, the FBI said. One of the agents said he saw Bizarro give what appeared to be a "thumbs up" to another passenger as he returned to his seat, prompting the marshals to take control of the cabin. Oh wait! Its the Airlines fault for not printing the acceptable hand gestures in the Aircraft Safety Card next to how to use the floatation device under your seat.
- Please do not point excessively while seated.
- When holding an cutlery, the pinkie must always be extended.
- Making the "thumb up" after taking a #1 to another passenger may alarm some Sky Marshals.
- All waving must adhere to the British Royal Family standard of arm extended, fingers cupped and rotating the wrist back and forth. No spread fingers, the arm may not sway.
- The doing the Macarena may cause other passengers to attack you.

Twenty years, yeah. Sumbuddy better be going to them prisons for twenny years, or else they'll soon be emptying out. Why, Ms Soliah got 20 years to life and her lawyah said he'd get her out on parole in two and a half, and then Normal Mailer's favourite morderer jus up and cheated on the criminal justice system and escaped punishment (and likely parole in 2003,) so we got to get some real criminals in there! Is Richard Jewell available?

Richard Bizarro How appropriate, considering that we now live in the Bizarro world.

I wonder how many people are appreciating the beginning of our police state. It will only get worse not better folks.
Do not fly, plan ahead, drive.
See the USA in your Chevrolet.
But don't forget your national ID papers.
When the airline industry goes bankrupt they will change some of these silly rules.
