American Airlines passenger who refused to wear a mask screamed for 10 minutes during her arrest...


An American Airlines passenger was detained on Friday after refusing to wear a mask or to exit a plane at a New Orleans airport, the New Orleans Advocate (Nola) reports.

American Airlines Flight 1768 was preparing to leave Louis Armstrong International Airport for Dallas but was delayed for up to an hour due to the mask incident, according to the report.

American Airlines spokesperson Derek Walls told the outlet that the plane had to return to the gate after the passenger refused multiple requests to wear a mask.

But after being removed, the passenger could be heard screaming for approximately 10 minutes as officials hauled her away on the passageway until the plane taxied again. .........(more)

The backup plan would be to scream for a long period of time in a public place as this is the most effective way to spread the virus.

Just sayin'.

Do you think that's what happened? Or is the passenger just an egoistic jerk?

these people are doing *exactly* what biological terrorists would do, except in this case they don't have to because republicans are already doing their job for them.

And the media refuses to call them terrorists when the *only* difference is that they're American.

I was trying to be funny. Fail.

You're completely correct that they are terrorists.

The airlines will ban these passengers for life. These idiots who violate the rules won't be able to travel by air.

Try that crap at 30,000 feet and I doubt the other passengers would care much about legal niceties. Do something that could endanger the tube you're riding in that's keeping you all alive, and that pocket Constitution might just wind up in a very uncomfortable place.

And I bet the galleys of these planes have several rolls of duct tape available for just such occasions. (If they don't, consider this a suggestion.)

If she'd had the sense to avoid arrest, she have just walked over and booked with another airline.

Seems like at the point in time they forcibly remove you, you've committed a crime.
