Again, how is that willfully breaking the rules? Am I will breaking the rules here becaus I don't explicitly state that I am following HN guidelines in all my posts?
Because arguing. If, after being shown the rule, he'd STFU, this article wouldn't be here. He was shown the rule, thought about it, and then objected, implying future rule breaking was in store.
There are now (wrongly, in my opinion, but that's another story) homeland security guidelines about passengers exhibiting behavior that suggests they don't or won't accept the flight attendant's authority. Flowcharting those rules leads to the captain deciding whether he wants the passenger on the flight. It's clear this guy got himself classified into that flowchart.
He was shown the rule, thought about it, and then objected, implying future rule breaking was in store.
Really? Saying that you don't like a rule imply's thay he would break the rule, thereby meaning (according to
DanBC & Terretta) that he broke the rule? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
> Really? Saying that you don't like a rule imply's thay he would break the rule,
Not breaking "the" rule, future rule breaking. There's a difference.
According to current flight regulations, arguing about breaking a rule is cause to suspect other rules may be broken later.
> thereby meaning (according to DanBC & Terretta) that he broke the rule?
Not according to Terretta. According to post 911 flight regulations being followed by the FA and pilot. These new security regulations say someone who objects to authority can be denied travel like "pre-crime" suspects on Minority Report.
> Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
Yes, which is why I wrote, "wrongly, in my opinion, but that's another story" about these regulations.
The situation will remain ridiculous until enough people realize this ridiculousness is now policy and needs undoing.
He took one picture when he was unaware of the rule. Once informed of the rule, he immediately stopped. How is that "willfuly breaking the rules"?
