I found this in Yahoo's list of weird news right below the Wonderbum. It would get some of the "guys" around here more exercised than the Wonderbra and Wonderbum put together. Thursday October 11 8:54 AM ET Man Thrown Off Flight After Trying to Lead Prayer LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A man who grabbed a cabin intercom to lead other passengers in prayer was thrown off an American Airlines jet on Tuesday before it took off from Los Angeles for Dallas, an airport official said on Wednesday. The incident occurred amid heightened security around U.S. air travel following Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon (news - web sites) with hijacked planes which killed more than 5,500 people leaving travelers in America feeling jittery. The decision to bar the man from the flight was made by the American Airlines staff on the scene and the passenger was not detained or arrested, said Harold Johnson, a spokesman for Los Angeles International Airport. American Airlines spokesman Dale Morris said the flight crew decided to eject the passenger because his grab for the microphone made other travelers nervous and passengers are supposed to remain in their seats during taxiing. ``It's quite alright to pray individually, but what he did alarmed a number of other people on board,'' Morris said. The unidentified passenger was put off at the gate and had his ticket refunded. If the man wanted to say a prayer, I wish he would do so from his own seat,'' Nancy Sheldon, who boarded the plane in Los Angeles, told a local television station. ``It's just going to get people upset.'' Another passenger also supported the pilot's decision to ask the man to leave the plane after the incident. ``I would be hesitant to continue on a flight with somebody grabbing a microphone out of somebody's hands,'' passenger Ted Eastec told Los Angeles-based NBC4.
