Exactly what do you suggest??

not pp, but gun control would be a nice start

Because the criminals are going to turn in their guns.

Says every NRA lackey.

You are the reason why children die at school. No balls to stand up and do the right thing.

Is that how painful the truth is? How will you respond when a crazy shoots at your kids? Run away?

Each pathetic excuse you make = blood on your hands

Totally unnecessary & totally preventable:

Are you truly that heartless or just clueless?

Why can't everyone seat in their danm seats during takeoff? Get off the phone, tray table up and listening ears on.

I hate fuckers who ruin simple shit.

A reporter who was on the flight, Suzanne Kennedy, tweeted this from the plane:

Woman got up and went to back of plane w/child as plane was taxiing. Then aircraft called back to gate. Plane being held at gate

Kennedy co-authored one of the articles to which I linked. However, she doesn't mention this in her article and no child is mentioned as being among the passengers removed from the plane. My guess is that the woman and child she tweeted about where not among those removed. Otherwise, you are correct, the moving about the aircraft would be the "suspicious activity".

I would think this woman w/ her child might be the one that reported the activity. Maybe there was a flight attendant in the back whom she notified. Wasn't it mentioned in the article that the passenger that notified them was female?

Do some of you hate that?

You are probably right.

Yeah, when what you see is someone looking at his phone, I hate that.

Several people were removed from Spirit Airlines flight NK969 after the plane was called back to the gate while taxiing off Tuesday morning, according to ABC7 reporter Suzanne Kennedy, who was on the flight. The flight was scheduled to leave from BWI to Chicago.

According to Kennedy, four passengers were initially removed from the flight, three males and one woman. They reportedly had several backpacks and appeared to be in their early 30's and of middle eastern descent.

Three additional passengers were subsequently called out from the loud speaker and removed from the plane.

The spokesman said the "suspicious activity" involved one of the male passengers viewing a news report on his smartphone. All four of the passengers were "very cooperative," according to the MTA spokesperson, and have been released.

We have become a nation of pants wetters. If you are of "middle eastern descent" (which I am on one side of my family), I suggest cancelling any planned flights for a while.

OP, I think you are a complete tool. Hyper-vigilance and profiling is expected after Paris. These things are going to happen, and honestly I rather err on the side of extra safety than regret. Look at Germany, terrorists just tried to blow up a full stadium, where the prime minister was going to be.

You believe that reporting someone for simply looking at his phone is acceptable and call me a tool? I certainly hope you have bought an economy-sized package of Depends because you are going to need them if that is indicative of your bladder control.

My sister was traveling with us one time with her 4 year old son. Apparently his name was on the list, and the TSA wanted to question him. The agent had to lean over the counter to see him.

3. Years. Old.

They still wanted to talk to him after realizing how old he was. After about 10 minutes they changed their minds, probably realizing how stupid they were being. Wish it weren't true but it is.

Ok, sorry about the tool comment, that was uncalled for. It's just that I understand people feeling on edge, don't you? There are moments that something feels off, it has happened to many people. What if this was a well meant report? What if something had happened and the person had not reported it? Yes, hyper vigilance can be a pain, and it can lead to mostly false reports, but if it saves one live, I think it is tolerable.

You accept this as tolerable because you can't imagine yourself being on the receiving end of it. If you were the one pulled off a plane because you watched a news report on your phone, I suspect your attitude would be different. I get that there are paranoid individuals out there and I think the airline is just as responsible in this case. If a passenger was scared, they should have changed her flight rather than pulling off four innocent people.

About six months before 9/11, I was on a cross -country flight where 4 Muslim men were acting suspiciously once in-flight. I told a flight attendant who had noticed it as well, and notified the pilot. I believe it was a practice flight. You know when something is not right

It this case, the only thing not right was the pants-wetting passenger's suspicions. In your case, there has never been a Muslim man who didn't appear suspicious.

There is "suspicious activity" and there is "reading the news on your phone" ....they are not one and the same.
