Nonsense and balderdash. Not even close to being a victimless crime here by the United employees. The crew was insanely over-reacting, much like BA did in the
Transformer's T-shirt incident.
Law Enforcement was called in to question the guy's reading material, making EVERYBODY on the plane late and causing collateral economic damage.
It's way beyond a 1st amendment issue when flight crew starts getting suspicious about reading material.
United didn't have a monopoly on the planes hijacked on 9/11, but they sure act like it sometimes. Out of an abundance of caution and a shortage of common sense......
