Regardless of whether the interference is proven or not it is the RULE of the airline. Rules are in place for a reason. Quite frankly, he should be made to pay for the inconvenience of the passengers (should any of them have missed connecting flights) and the addition fuel that the airlines expended on turning around and taking off again. It is time IDIOTS like this one be taken down a peg. I am also tired of hearing everyones inane conversations. I don't eavesdrop but I can't help to hear every freaking word when someone is seated six inches away from me!!! Get on the plane, sit down, shut up, listen to your music (at a level that is not disturbing to other passengers) or read a magazine. Be a considerate human being! Is that too much to ask from the unwashed mass of humanity the flies in the 21st century?
