Passenger Claims Tweets Got Her Kicked Off Flight At Philly Airport
A passenger claims her postings on social media got her kicked off a flight at Philadelphia International Airport Tuesday night...now playing the victim card, we all know which card will be next. Chances are the pilot flew the inbound leg from Boston, which was late. Certainly didn't have time to hit the bars. (philadelphia.cbslocal.com) 기타...

Folks need to be aware that when flying on an air carrier - they are in charge. There is no "freedom of speech". You abide by their rules, or the choice of driving is an alternative.

JetBlue responded to questions from Ars and clarified that Carter-Knight was denied re-entry on the flight due to "unruly behavior," not her use of social media. A company spokesperson added that other passengers tweeted about the flight's delays and were still allowed to board the plane.
"It is not our practice to remove a customer for expressing criticism of their experience in any medium," JetBlue said to Ars via e-mail. "We will remove a customer if they are disruptive and the crew evaluates that there is a risk of escalation which could lead to an unsafe environment. The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly."

That's right and the rest of us deserve to have a uneventful flight to focus on business or holiday etc. As they say removing a person from a flight is not taken lightly.
People don't know when to shut up and the burgeoning of social media sure doesn't help. It has nothing to do with skin color or freedom of speech.
JB should have had her arrested for interference and put her on the no-fly
I would be surprised that Jet Blue is following her on Twitter.
