I had to smile at the portion of the story where the airline admits that the
passenger calmed down as soon as he was reprimanded by the flight crew- but the

pilot (probably a Republican), diverted the plane and had him arrested anyway.

Speak against Bush and get kicked off a plane and arrested......and this line
is a classic "Safety and security are our first priortities." Yep, better
arrest dissenters wherever they can be found- safety and security, you know.

Wonder how the guy got so drunk on the plane in the first place? Couldn't be
because the flight crew kept serving him?
If "safety and security" are your first priority, you don't keep selling liquor
to an obnoxious drunk.
