IMHO, this is definitely a no blood no foul issue. if he can stay up there more power too him. If he gets booted, he is the one with a red face.. other than that.. who really cares..

Is it theft, technically my guess is yes.. but I can bet that each of us in here has technically stolen something willfully and knowingly at some point (have you ever made a personal phone call from work on work time, the baseball game is a great example... I am so guilty a thousand times over on that one.. I'm always sneaking down to the lower boxes).. for most people it is of immaterial consequence and no one cares or would ever want to prosecute..

As long as he obeyed crews instructions.. its not a big deal. As for the comment about if he would steal a F seat what else might he do in this post 911 era.. come on.. now really... If he was a terroist he would buy a seat not try to steal one.. I wish I knew how to put those little icons up with the eyes rolling
