Passenger Kicked Off Flight for Ignoring Headphone Rule

0:00On March 9th, a passenger got kicked off an American Airlines flight for Miami to Tampa for blasting a video on her phone speaker. Flight attendants asked her twice to use headphones before takeoff, but she played it for 30 seconds at 50% volume and ignored them. Video from February 26th shows her shouting curses at the crew from her seat. She kept arguing even after Sheriff's arrived, grabbing one officer's arm and demanding to express her feelings. Officers clapped and cheered when the sheriff's finally escorted her off with her bags. The video poster called her drunk and said the attendant stayed calm and professional through the whole mess. This comes as United Airlines just tightened its rules, now requiring headphones for all personal device audio or video. Biolators could get removed or banned from future flights. American Airlines hasn't commented yet, but these clashes highlight why carriers are pushing for quieter cabins.
