    Man Arrested for Using Cellphone On Flight

    Southwest: Airline passenger refuses to hang up cell phone during flight

    03:58 PM CDT on Monday, May 12, 2008

    By TERRY MAXON and SUZANNE MARTA / The Dallas Morning News

    Dallas police met a Southwest Airlines plane at Dallas Love Field on Monday after flight staff reported that a passenger refused to stop using his mobile phone during the flight.

    Joe David Jones, 50, was cited for disorderly conduct, Dallas police said.

    The incident occurred during a Southwest flight from Austin to Dallas. “After multiple requests, the flight attendants were not successful in getting the passenger to get off the phone,” said Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King. [Full Article]

    What the hell is wrong with some people...

    According to a Dallas police report, flight attendants had asked Mr. Jones to turn off his cell phone and he responded with, "Kiss my ---." When asked again, he stated, "Kiss my ---. Not happening," the report said.

    He remained on the phone for about 20 minutes. The pilot radioed the incident to the Love Field tower and Dallas police were notified. Officers met Mr. Jones at the gate and he continued to "exhibit disorderly conduct," police said.

    this isn't the first time it's happenned. i've seen it before more than once, though neither instance made it to the news.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Turns out he was not actually arrested but did receive a summons. The man, 50, claims he was speaking to a hospital about the condition of his father, whose heart had stopped, and it was literally a life or death conversation.
