Great questions...

Does anyone know the regs for a passenger already boarded and seated?

And if the CoC is silent on the issue of deplaning a boarded passenger, contract law would typically benefit the person that did not write the contract; in this case, the passenger.

And if that was a United employee dragging that guy off the plane, oh boy! UA should settle ASAP.
