Taking pictures while on a plane

Well looks like the airlines are being jerks now about this. This poor guy got kicked off a flight for a taking a picture of his first class suite:

Photography can often be an invasion of privacy or IP.
Often the real jerks are behind the lens.

True but this guy is a travel blogger and also is a 1 million miler with UAL. Not a good way to treat your best customers. Very bad publicity for the airline.

I don't think that link gives the entire story. Here's a link to the guy's blog http://upgrd.com …-for-taking-pictures.html .
Yes, I don't think what the flight attendant did is right, if that is the full story. I think the guy may have doomed himself when he said the word "terrorist" even though he was claiming not to be one.

Should never say "I hope you didn't think I was a terrorist." on a plane...

Shooting anywhere but out the window is now problematic.

He should have known this.

It's simple really. Obey the flight crews' direction, whether you think its right or wrong or run the risk of being removed from the flight.
