How much should you charge for a photograph?Men Taking Pics Inside Plane Force Its Return To Starting Gate
Three men who were believed to be taking pictures inside a taxiing airplane raised enough suspicion to force the plane to return to its starting gate at Denver International Airport Thursday.
The men were removed from the United Airlines plane and questioned as well as a fourth man who reported the alleged photography.
Eventually, all passengers were removed from the plane while authorities swept the plane for "suspicious devices."
Two of the three men in question loooked Middle-Eastern.
According to The Denver Channel:
No arrests were made. It's believed that a couple of the passengers were taking photographs, or something like that, while the plane was taxiing, and that raised suspicion, said DIA spokesman Jeff Green.
The plane was allowed to depart two-and-a-half hours later. However, because it was already after midnight, it landed at Los Angeles International Airport instead of its intended destinatin of Santa Ana. The plane eventually arrived at Santa Ana, no telling how many hours later.

Jeeze. This is stupid. First United breaks guitars, now this!
Need more details please. Not that lack of detail ever kept anyone here from foaming at the mouth.
If taking pictures on a plane is suspicious then I am one shady SOB.
Gotta agree with Johnny on this one, we're not getting the full story here.
We just can't be too safe.
Carlos,
It would have been difficult to land in Santa Ana because there is no airport there. Check your source's credibility.

Point taken, someone notify Google maps.
The rest of the story. Two of the three men in question looked Middle-Eastern.
So I guess everything is justified.

Maybe they were on their way to Pennsylvania to take some snapshots of the power plant in Salem County.
By the way, that power plant is very plainly visible on Google Maps.
They looked middle eastern, probably were Cuban. That's all it took to make wasps piss themselves.
I doubt there really is more to the story than the fact that they were middle-eastern.
However, in a perfect world, there would be no TSA and the airline would take responsibility for securing their flights. They would be perfectly within their rights to pull back to the gate to question these guys or just boot them from the plane, for any or no reason. The airline is the property owner and it's their plane.
If it were a government employee with a badge and a gun doing the ordering, then I would disagree wholeheartedly.
