Gee... imagine if he'd been wearing a ... I'll bet this thread would have a bit diff tone!



Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

It seems like the right response. I'm assuming this was an Islamic prayer rug situation. Correct?

CONAN. Don't know, article didn't say. No matter who, he should have been made to comply with the rules, still see no reason for a military escort, unless it was to make sure the plane stayed on course.  POWDERMAN.  :o :o

The poor guy may now be in federal jail, charged with interfering with a flight crew in the performance of their duties - just irritating a flt attendant is enough - and facing 20 years in prison.


Rev Wright was right...

There's an unkind & personal response.


how many here think a citizen should face a 20 year felony for irritating a flight attendant? Esp if they're praying? Perhaps the guy was feeling panicky?

I believe it was not following landing instruction not just irritating and attendent . Considering what has happened on planes in the past following instruction is important. I have been on planes that bounced on landing , once several times on a dark stormy night in an eletrical storm. Had someone been lose in the isle they could have been thrown into others causing injury. As far as I concerned if you don't want to follow the rules don't fly. Which is why I fly very little these day.

Could be. I personally know a guy who'd inadvertently irritated a flight attendant - didn't know it - and they diverted the flight, landed - he had no clue it was due to anything he'd done - and he ended up in federal custody, and learned a few things he would have preferred to have never learned about his gov't. It was a couple years after 9/11, and you'd think the panic would be over by now, but... apparently not.

flying commercial truly sucks these days, and has for over decade
