"Either if it's just being disruptive and not obeying the crews of the flight command, or if it's being problematic with shifting bags and taking bags out of the overhead, both would have spelled or could have spelled trouble for Southwest," said aviation attorney Mary Schiavo.
Schiavo said on average, 12 people a day are injured on flights where luggage is opened or shifted during a flight.
"If you open the overhead bins in flight -- people don't realize this, but every year 4,500 people are injured above the skies of America from items falling from overhead bins," said Schiavo.
Schiavo said it is possible the passenger removed from the plane drew attention to himself because of the shifting luggage, not terrorist like activity.
"If there is something you need then by all means you have to talk to the flight attendant, don't touch them," said Schiavo.
A spokesperson with the Transportation Security Administration said this was a customer service issue with the airline and TSA does not have the authority to make any arrests.
Schiavo said it's also probable this incident was alcohol-induced."
Ok, so this "aviation attorney" seems to know jack and shyte about actual flying, since you don't call an FA over to get stuff out of the overhead for you.
Good to see that TSA actually said that they can't arrest anyone. That's the only part of the article I like.
