Flight from Hellta Airlines

King Anyi Howell Documents his flight on Hellta Airlines, which was apparently some breach of National Security.. who knew?:

So Im on my Delta flight.. as usual, Im cramped in between someone tapping hard behind me on the back of my seat. The guy next to me is coughing up his weathered lungs. The guy in front of me wants to recline directly onto my kneecaps and the flight attendant wants to remind me that my knees cant be allowed to stretch out into the hallway. I figure instead of getting upset and pissed, Ill turn my painful lemons into lemonade of some first-person docu footage, as a journalist should. This was brought to a halt when the flight attendant, infinitely unsympathetic to my struggle to fly in peace, informed me that filming poses a security threat. Yep, she pulled the 9/11 card. She told me I had to erase the footage and she had to watch me or else there will be trouble if I didnt. She wanted to explain to me why she was requesting this. I told her, its OK, Ill just comply, after all, I dont want to be in any way, shape, or form confused with being the T word. Im afraid to even speak out loud right now, because Im worried about my freedom and safety being placed in jeopardy. Even after I erased the footage, she said she didnt see me do it so she will still notify the captain, which means Ill have to try and bear it with a grin, although I am thoroughly offended, shocked, and appalled at the level of disrespect I am being shown by Delta Airline staff. Come fly the friendly skies? Yea right. Apparently the Freedom of the press, the first amendmen to the Constituional Bill of Rights, gets confiscated at the TSA checkpoint along with my toothpaste.
