Flight Attendants Have Envious Amounts of Power

So, we were about to endure our 1st flying experience since our MA debacle. We were flying to San Fran and on to Maui. Since I am a horrible flyer, I was not looking forward to being on a plane for 11 hours. Since we had such an awful experience last time around, I wasn't going to get happy about departing until we were actually in the air.

I guess we were a little longer than usual waiting to depart. The flight attendant gets on the intercom and says she is sorry for the delay, but once a situation with a passenger is resolved we will be leaving. I'm sure like anyone else, I'm immediately interested and looking around. I notice that the "issue" is only 2 rows back from where we are sitting. So, I'm thinking what could be so bad that we didn't even hear anything? Here come the TSA folks and security. 3 men surrounding this old, foreign lady. They were very polite and calm in their attempts to get her off the plane. But, she had absolutely no idea why she was being asked to leave. She kept saying, but why? They kept saying just come with us and we'll explain everything once you are off of the plane. They said they would put her on another flight. She just kept saying I don't understand. Why are you doing this? I too wanted to know. Finally one says that she was rude to the flight attendant. The woman ends up leaving without too much disruption and the flight leaves.

I'm fine with security and I guess there is a point where maybe that is a little unnecessary. But in actuality, I was just insanely jealous. Jealous of the power. I really think they need to call all children, babies, smelly and/or obese people a safety hazard for flying and get them all off too. Flight attendants can actually just have people thrown off a plane for nearly any reason now as long as it is under the guise of safety.

I wish I could do that in my daily life. Your stupidity is dangerous, you must leave my sight at once! This would really revolutionize my universe.
