Feds: 1, Obnoxious Cell Caller: 0
Fark linked up this story about "the lady, the cellphone, and the federal air marshall":
A plane passenger slapped a federal air marshal after refusing to sit down and ignoring instructions to end her cellular phone call, which she said would have been ``rude,'' prosecutors said Tuesday.
Yeah lady, you can ignore our dirty looks, and flip the flight crew the bird, but the buck will eventually stop somewhere. Glad to see it landed on her head. She's still in jail right now, by the way.
As one who flys with some frequency, that's just amusing. People who do stupid things like that - especially after repeated warnings - deserve to sit in cell for a very long time.
Also, makes me wonder why the crew didn't just kick her ass off the plane? Without refunding her money or anything like that.
