Why Did This Innocent-Looking Photo Get a Travel Blogger Thrown Off a United Airlines Flight?

Feb. 25, 2013 9:46am

Taking pictures and documenting details of the various aspects of travel is the bread and butter of travel bloggers. One such blogger, Matthew Klint, who took a photo of the video screen on the back of the seat in front of him on a United Airlines flight, was ordered off the plane for doing so, but he thinks there might be another reason.

Klint, who writes the Live and Let’s Fly blog for UPGRD.com, explained in a post last week how he snapped a photo of the seat on plane that would take him direct from Newark Liberty International Airport to Istanbul. A flight attendant asked him not to take pictures and referred him to the airline’s policy.

Travel Blogger Matthew Klint Kicked Off United Flight for Taking Photo or Saying Word Terrorist

Here is the policy Klint was told prohibited photos on the plane. (Photo: Matthew Klint/Live and Let’s Fly)

Klint wrote that he didn’t take any more photos, per the request, and also noted how another passenger taking photos received a similar reprimand as well.

Still, what Klint was told didn’t sit well with him, so he called the woman back to explain himself.

“I want you to understand why I was taking pictures,” he recalled saying. “I hope you didn’t think I was a terrorist. Here is my business card [offering her one]. I write about United Airlines on an almost-daily basis and the folks at United in Chicago are even aware of my blog.”

From what Klint wrote, it seemed the stewardess accepted his explanation — not his business card — but a few minutes later a Global Services representative came onto the plane, called Klint to the front, and informed him that he was being kicked off.

Here’s more from Klint’s account of the situation:

He was direct—”The captain is not comfortable with you on this flight. You’ll need to gather your things and we’ll find another way to get you to Istanbul.” I was flabbergasted. My first thought was that they had the wrong passenger—they must have wanted the passenger who was arguing.

The GS rep stepped into the galley, around the corner, and asked the FA to verify it was me. She leaned forward, our eyes briefly meant, then she quickly hid herself again. Yes, she meant me.

I asked to speak to the captain—surely this was a ridiculous misunderstanding. The GS rep would not let me approach the flight deck but offered to talk to the captain on my behalf.  He stepped into the cockpit for a few minutes and a few minutes later the captain emerged. He would not look me in the eyes as we spoke.

Captain: Sir, you are not flying on this flight.

Me: Can you tell me why?

Captain: My FA tells me she told you to stop taking pictures and you continued to take pictures.

Me: That’s a lie, captain. She told me stop taking pictures and I stopped. I did try to explain to her why I was taking pictures—I am a travel writer [I offered him one of my business cards and he too refused to accept it].

Captain: Look, I don’t care. You are not flying on this flight. You can make this easy or make this difficult. We’ll call the police if we have to.

Me: Why are you threatening me? Your FA is lying—I did not disobey any crewmember instruction.

Captain: Look, we’re already late. I’d advise you to get off this plane now. Make it easy on yourself. Don’t make us bring the police in. Goodbye.

Me: Wait. Captain, may I have one of your business cards?

Captain: I don’t have any, but United will have no trouble finding me. My name is…[removed].

Having no other choice, Klint removed himself and his things from the plane in a “walk of shame” and proceeded to find other means of travel, which it should be noted was not direct, to Istanbul. Klint told the Global Services representative that he wanted it noted he was cooperative and also that the flight attendant lied about his taking of multiple pictures.

“Yes, she outright lied about me, falsely stating that I flouted her order and continued to take pictures. The blame lies almost entirely with her,” Klint wrote also going on to call the captain “unprofessional and weak.”

Perhaps what it really boiled down to, Klint wrote, was his use of the word “terrorist.”

“Even though the 9/11 attacks were over a decade ago, maybe I should have never used the word terrorist in my explanation,” he wrote. “Maybe the FA was not used to a passenger defending his action. But whatever the case may be, nothing can justify the fact that this FA lied about me.”

“This was not an issue of privacy—the real impetus behind United’s onboard photography guidelines above. You can see that the picture of my seat did not compromise anyone’s privacy. Instead, I believe the FA simply could not fathom why I would want to take pictures of my seat and therefore deemed me a security threat and lied in order to get me off the airplane,” he continued.

Klint said he feels like the incident publicly humiliated him and caused him to question his loyalty to United.

United responded to Klint’s experience, and although no concrete agreement as to next steps has been reached, Klint wrote he is confident “United is taking this issue seriously and has launched an extensive internal investigation.” United has not apologized, but Klint said he also isn’t expecting one.

Klint ultimately wrote that he hopes this incident will prompt a “frank national discussion on the use of so-called ‘taboo’ words onboard airplanes.”

    I see from the poll results that there are a number of toddler-minded idiots who are incapable of understanding “context”. These are the f’idiots who would throw their own grandmother into a woodchipper if the manual said to do so, because page 3,321 section 5 paragraph 8 clearly states that … blah … blah … blah.

      So what you’re saying is words like Hate, Kill, Terrorist, Bomb are black and white in context? Because to me if someone said “I’m going to kill this damn computer,” I wouldn’t be scared. But if they said, “I’m going to kill the captain’” then yes I would be nervous. Or how about “this song is the bomb” compared to ‘I have a bomb?” Or what about “I’m no terrorist” to “He’s a terrorist?” Context is everything.

      Context is subjective. So you say it should be okay to yell “I love Fire” in a crowed movie theater? The context isn’t threatening? But a lot of people will ONLY hear the word FIRE and freak. My point is, taboo words should NOT be grounds for banning passengers no matter WHAT context they are in. 1st amendment is just as important as the 2nd amendment! The funny thing is, most would be terrorist will not be calling themselves terrorist and using the word. So, like the gun control nut jobs, they think removing guns from law abiding citizens will reduce crime., These idiots think that by banning taboo words from beings spoken the terrorist wont come on their plane. What a freaking joke this country is coming too! ALL Men are becoming P*SS**S!!

      I answered yes simply because there are words that shouldn’t be said in any social setting, whether on a plane or not. I can’t turn to my wife and say, “Can I f*** the s*** out of you when we get to Vegas?” on a freaking airplane, because I shouldn’t say that anywhere. As for words that aren’t offensive or inappropriate, certainly context means a great deal. However, the Blaze painted me in a corner with their less than precise question.

    It’s obvious to me the passenger should have just stopped taking pictures without trying to explain it to the FA. When he tried to explain it away, he came across as being someone who did not think he was subject to the rules because of his motives and thus may have taken more pictures if not removed from the plane. Using the “T” word just made things worse, but I don’t think was the only reason.

      I disagree. He gave a valid reason for his taking pictures, presumably to put the FA at ease. The problem here is a lack of common sense on the part of airline staff and the draconian rules that presume guilt without cause.

      The real answer here is to do everything we can to drive these practices out of existence and patronize airlines that aren’t so ridiculous. Our security measures only give the appearance of security, rather than actually give us any.

      If the FA is too stupid to realize he wasn’t a threat, she’s too stupid to be relied upon to spot a real threat.

      What’s obvious is that all major airlines are government airlines, not commercial. They’re subsidized by tax dollars and completely regulated by the feds.

      FAs are government bureaucrats. Enjoy the flight!

      While I am not trying to defend the airlines in any ways. I grew up with mom as a fa and dad best friends were captains. So I always heard the b**ch sessions. About the time when it became common place to just throw on some old jeans and a wrinkled shirt is about when they stopped caring. Customers got more and more rude then it gets sensationalized when celebs go rouge and the news reports how cool the celeb is. Now as many of the older fa retire the new ones are from this old jeans and wrinkled shirt environment and it is more and more like your local retail store just plain lazy and not willing to put the time in to think the situation through. If as a family we were flying someplace and I showed up ready to get in the car to go I had better be dressed in slacks and nice shirt. It blows me away on what I see on planes now a days. Personally I always bring a few boxes of chocolate something’s and give the to the crew. Goes along ways is all I’m saying. Try and treat the flight crew as you would hope a customer would treat you in your business and It would be a lot better.

      fish – Although I think the airline was completely wrong in this situation, I agree with what you said. The problem comes down to all of this “Customer is always right crap” and “customer service” crap which has lead to the growth of rude (all about me) people. Rude people know they can get away with anything, they are demanding and belligerent. Businesses should tell a customer to go to that hot places in the ground when they become too overly belligerent. I learned a long time ago in business that you can’t please everyone. If someone is being unreasonable, I write them off as a customer and I dont care to ever see them again. I spend the energy I would have trying to make them happy (which will never happen) on my good customers.

No jewelry, belts, **** clips or bras with metal. No reason to stop me. The last time I dressed nice to fly I was embarrassed. I had everything I could on the table but the detector kept going off! I was taken to the side in a curtained off area to be groped. Then after the groping I still had to take my top off. Yea you guessed it I could kill someone with those under-wires!

    I asked myself, what would I do if I was the Captain. In that situation I think you have to back your FA even though obviously it was the wrong decision in hind sight. He(the captain) doesn’t know who was lying and didn’t have the time to figure out the truth. United should obviously refund his total trip cost as well as give him a free flight. It may have been the use of the word terrorism or the FA could have just been a witch but unless they wanted to delay the flight for an hour and get to the bottom of what was going on, it was the only choice albeit a bad one.

      Wrong. As captain it is your job to counter any obvious bad calls made by your flight crew. It’s basic business. If you don’t support your customer when they are the ones in the right you will start seeing less people choosing your airline as their carrier. This FA was clueless. You are supposed to exercise good judgement when enforcing regulations.

      Then they could have at least been polite about it. But they weren’t. They’re not even going to offer any kind of real apology. The safety concern is a BS answer that they use as an excuse for EVERYTHING. What they know is that we the customers have fewer and fewer choices for travel. They don’t have to be polite, they don’t have to be considerate. They don’t have to ensure we will come back. We have little choices. I’ve flown quite a few foreign airlines (Singapore Air and Korean Air are my favorites), and all of them treat their customers with so much more courtesy and consideration than even the best intentioned domestic airline.

      I would’ve kindly asked if I could see his camera. Take a look at the photos and see if there are extra. Then I’d find out what seat he was in and ask a few of the passengers nearby. If everything checks out, I’d tell the FA that I can no longer trust her/him on the flight due to lying about what a passenger did and tell her/him that they’ll have to take another flight. Done.

      This captain sounds like he was being lazy and didn’t want to do any investigation and is willing to take his FAs word over any one elses. United should at the very least suspend the FA and refund this guys money.

The auxiliary staff were also top notch. They take their business seriously.

      I fly a lot. From my experience, I find that on just about every flight, there are a handful of a holes who think that the rules shouldn’t apply to them. The FAs have a lot to do and are on a tight schedule. If some jack wagon wants to try to explain ( ad nauseum) how he is exempt from the rules and in turn slows down the boarding process, then wastes the captains time arguing about who is lying, he should get the boot. Because, if he wins the ‘debate’ that empowers all the rest of the dolts who try to carry on gigantic suit cases or 4 or 5 carry ons, or not stow their belongings during take off or decide to take a dump during final approach or otherwise try to exempt themselves from rules, often risking the safety of others in the process. If you have ever experienced a hard landing or severe turbulence, you know how important all this stuff is. I’ve seen unsecured laptops go flying ( I don’t want to get hit by one) as well as people ( ditto) FAs don’t have time to deal with r*tards.

    Its getting to be like some of these northern police states that don’t want you to photograph the cops. Frankly, I have always thought that came from the cities and states paying lawsuits for the damages done by the thug cops, who can’t be fired for their own actions because of the unions.

    Between the TSA and the airline policies, I see no reason to abuse myself by having to deal with either of them.
    If I can’t drive there or go by boat, I will stay home.

      That is exactly my point of view. If everyone stopped flying this garbage would end. I haven’t and won’t fly .. because of the mistreatment they dish out.

    A picture of his seat is meaningless. I think he was looking for trouble and found it.

      Oh B.S. stop being a lemming and grow a spine, this FA is just another example of a someone given a little bit of power and she abused it. The Pilot seems a rather spineless sort as well or he’s trying to get into the skirt of the FA. This P.C. culture is turning everyone whimps, everyone is afraid of offending everyone and no one will stand up and call it like it is.

    Loyalty to an Airline? Strange.
