Plane Passenger Ejected for Non-Stop Singing of Whitney Houston Songs

This probably protected the passenger from herself (as I suspect the other passengers were ready to do her bodily harm), but using the excuse that "an unruly passenger was deemed a threat to the crew for refusing to stop singing Whitney Houston songs" was probably over the top.
I can bet that no one sitting around this woman minded the diversion at all.

No, I haven't hear it lately. I am not quite sure if there is new policy. I wasn't sure if there is restrictions. Sadly, you can't take a pictures of the suspect.

My guess is, this was some FAs taking it upon themselves. Like so many other people today, they FAs seem to think that "CAMERA = WEAPON!!!!" and "PHOTOGRAPHER = TERRORIST/PEDOPHILE!!!!".
Or perhaps they simply still believe that a photograph will steal their souls.

I just went to AA's web site and did a search for "photography", which came up with zero responses, and "photo" which brought up only AA's own online photo gallery. I also specifically searched the CoC and found no mention at all of photo or video prohibitions.
