'Disruptive' Santonio Holmes Escorted Off Pittsburgh Flight

Despite the fact that I've been on other flights where no request was made to close the blinds on take off and landing, the flight attendant insisted it was a Federal regulation.

My response: "That doesn't pass the 'sniff' test. Am I on 'Candid Camera', or something?"

:lol:

Good point you d-bag

:lol:

HEy i'm really not trying to endanger anyone. Its just I see so many people not doing it and I don't and all the scientific evidence points against the need to turn off devices that i don't feel inclined too.


THink about it this way. Medical devices like pacemakers give off as much or more radiaton as I pods and you can't tell those people to turn them off so it obviously ins't that big of a problem.

I have no idea whether it would cause a problem or not. But they ask me to do it, and I'm not so damn special that I can't turn my **** off for a few minutes, so I turn it off.

Exactly man. I mean I want to turn on my iPod, Laptop, Cellphone too but that's the rules. If you don't like it, take the train....

I think they might want him to hear the grab you oxygen mask announcement-you know, just in case there WAS a problem-or like getting out on the wing if they were floating in a river since he probably had snootful at the time.

Yeh but I fly enough that i've heard those announcements for everytype of plane they fly.;..:icon_tease:
