Last week, we covered a story in which a passenger was arrested for an altercation that arose between he and a flight attendant after said attendant asked him to turn off his iPod. Well, those pesky Apple products are at it again. This time the culprit is the ever-popular iPhone.

An ATA passenger switched the iPhone to “Airplane Mode,” basically disabling any cell phone, bluetooth, or WiFi aspects of the device. The passenger proceeded to watch Jennifer Love Hewitt try desperately to escape a hook-handed killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer. The flight attendant, either not accepting the whole “airplane mode” theory or disagreeing with the turn Western cinema has taken over the last decade, told the passenger to turn the iPhone off. From there, things got ugly, and according to Consumerist, eventually led the flight attendant to remark, “You have to do anything I say, I am going to have you arrested…” When the plane landed, the passenger was detained, but no charges were brought.

OK, so the flight attendant couldn’t tell the passenger which FAA rules were being broken, and the passenger couldn’t make the case to keep the movie on. I can see both sides of the thing. This new- fangled technology might throw some airline employees off. For my part, I think the problem goes beyond iPods and iPhones. In the days of overcrowded planes, overworked employees, and frustrated travelers, a simple issue like whether someone should get to watch a mediocre horror movie while onboard a plane warrants police action. Perhaps, everybody just needs to calm down a bit. I know the work of Jennifer Love Hewitt always does the trick for me.
