Woman arrested for not deleting airline fight video

This is one of these offbeat stories that shows how tightly regimented and paranoid BushAmerica is.

A 56-year-old grandmother who posed no threat to anybody was arrested because she failed to erase a video that she made of other air passengers arguing. She was threatened with federal charges, and the airline, JetBlue, is trying to blackball her from all future flights.

The incident took place on a flight from New York to Las Vegas. The diminutive woman recorded the altercation and later showed the video to the flight crew.

Apparently, JetBlue was more interested in going after her than in the unruly passengers (who posed more of a threat). Ever hear the saying that if you don't like the message, don't shoot the messenger?

She may have wanted to keep the video only as an amusing memento of her trip. And she certainly has a legal right to. Because the argument occurred in a place accessible to the public, the participants should have no expectation of privacy.

(This isn't the only recent instance of JetBlue skulduggery. On another flight on this airline, a passenger was forced to give up his seat and ride in the restroom. Hope they didn't hit any turbulence!)

Corporate and government paranoia join forces once again!
