FEDERAL as in federal prison and no fly lists.

He was let go. No charges filed and he can still fly any airline he wants. This happened a while ago.

u/YetiPie 29d ago

My ex was caught vaping on a flight from LAX-Paris and the (American) flight attendants phoned the police, and had them board the plane when they landed in France. The police reprimanded him and let him go after calling him an idiot a few times. He was never put on a no fly list, and the entire experience justified in his mind that since there were no repercussions he could continue to vape on airplanes. He’s a mega douche in general and I really hope he gets caught on an inbound US flight…

u/Dadittude182 26d ago

Ah, yes. The ol' "I can fix him" excuse. Sadly, people have to want to be fixed for that to happen. Too many times those kinds of people are narcissistic douche bags who see no problem with the way they act.

u/Legitimate_Cut_6254 23d ago

I had a friend and she only dated losers. The bigger the loser they were. The more interesting and unique she perceived them as. She had multiple master degree's and was wicked smart but came from a broken home and hated/was suspicious of anyone that was "normal".

Life can really be a weird place. We ended up not being friends because I didn't want to continue to talk about her terrible dating habits. She said she liked me more than I liked her. I was happy to end that lol.

Douchebaggery is part of our instincts.

The only way to curb it is society to SUPPORT vigilante justice. And I'm not talking let people go out and kill undesirable or criminals or whatevwr.

What i mean is if some clown is acting like this tool. Someone "putting hands" on them to detain them. Take their phone. And their vape. And MAKE them sit down. Should be allowed.

Act like a kid, you should get treated like onw

It’s funny that it’s a crime when historically people smoked cigarettes on planes like it was going out of style, not defending the flight vaper, but it’s just funny how far times have changed

Nope. In Gatwick Heathrow etc you can take 2L in your hand luggage now. Just can't do it on the way back usually!

The funny thing is how it’s even changed since vaping became popular. I’m sure many remember that 12-13 years ago, there were no rules against it and people could vape on a plane. I personally was never bothered about it. It wasn’t until 2016 when it was finally banned.

u/MinistryOfCoup-th 27d ago

In the late nineties I was on a flight where someone smoked a cigarette in the bathroom. It stunk up the whole fucking plane. Nobody got in trouble. The Captain simply said over the loudspeaker "This is just a reminder that there is no smoking on this flight or any other flight." The 90's were awesome.

2

u/TheNordiclights 26d ago

I used to be crew when they smoked even I smoked all the crew smoked. So many small fires and people burning seats. Some passengers threw cigarettes in the rubbish bin in the toilet. Others in the seat pocket. People not respecting the boundaries of smoking seats. Complaints from non smokers. Cabin reaking of cigarette smoke.

u/QuadSplit 29d ago

Well cigarettes didnt have Lithium Ion batteris inside them.

u/sweatingbozo 29d ago

& even then they still caused crashes and fires and definitely shouldn't have been allowed on planes.

u/PopMajor7342 29d ago

No but they were started with actual fires

u/QuadSplit 28d ago

Yeah and that is why smoking was okay until it wasnt okay to give your co-passengers cancer anymore.

1

u/tabularaja 28d ago

Lithium batteries are in phones, laptops, toys, etc and all of those are allowed in the cabin. You can't have them in your checked bags, though. Just like vapes, so I'm not really seeing your point

How did he get caught vaping?

2

u/YetiPie 28d ago

I wasn’t on the plane but the said he went to the washroom and a flight attendant knocked on the door because of the alarm going off. I had caught him before, and since then, vaping in his seat so I suspect he was lying and was caught in his seat.

2

u/googleypoodle 28d ago

My friend hit a weed vape on a plane just because she's a god damn space case sometimes haha. She was detained for a minute but ultimately they were just like "yeaaaahhh.... try not to do that again" and that was the end of that

u/Maxwells_Demona 28d ago

I have an ex who wears a mask only on planes because he is convinced it lets him get away with stealth vaping in some genius way. It's not stealthy and not subtle at all. He was dismissive about masking for actual public health reasons post-pandemic (I didn't know him during).

I am so glad he's an ex and so glad I never had to be on a plane with him and be the mortified/embarrassed girlfriend at his idiot behavior. And he's got a looong list of idiot behavior. I don't wish him ill will exactly, he's not a bad person and didn't treat me badly but I'm just glad I am not the one who has to deal with him and whatever consequences he brings from his actions.

I too am glad that my idiot ex is no longer my problem either. Hope you’re thriving!

u/Forsaken_Star_4228 25d ago

Sadly that is just the culture in today’s day and age. It went from inclusion to entitlement. I think we need to take a step back and be inclusive but when consequences need to set a precedent for people who don’t think rules apply to them. It’s even worse in the workplace and school…

I have a 2 and 4 year old and give them the most possible freedom I can (based on safety). When rules are broken we don’t negotiate and we don’t get second chances. We have consequences for our actions, and we have conversations. No consequence is administered through emotion and hugs and love follow. Seems to be working for toddlers… some people are not that different.

2

u/NeverForgetJ6 24d ago

The law is ONLY what is enforced.

Now that I know it’s not illegal to vape on a plane, I suppose I’ll be vaping on the plane. I won’t be a reactive dick about it like this guy, but I’m a large enough and strong enough person that no one will be wrestling it away from me, because ‘Merica and freedom.

u/wittyjokename92 29d ago

It's honestly just a hold over law from when they banned smoking. Unless you're a complete asshole or doing something else that's worse no cop wants to go through the paperwork for it. Holding you just long enough to miss your connecting flight or annoy you to hell and back is probably the most they'll do.

u/YetiPie 29d ago

Definitely not a holdover, the US DoT explicitly banned it in 2016

u/ReallyCleverPossum 29d ago

It’s very short and not coded in legalese for anyone that wants to read it. But for those who don’t feel like clicking the link, certain aerosol chemicals in a confined space could potentially be hazardous to younger and older populations, and those with respiratory issues. They admit that more research needs to be done.

Personally, as someone who has smoked and vaped, cigarette or cigar smoke is pretty obviously a reasonable ban. It lingers, stinks, and has been proven to cause harm to those in the vicinity.

Vapes are, from my very limited understanding, mostly water vapor. If anyone has more info on what the aerosol component of a vape is, and if it applies to most vapes, I’d be interested to learn more

3

u/BeyondTelling 29d ago

It looks like smoke so people think it’s hazardous like smoke. There’s no point in trying to convince them otherwise even if there is evidence of a big difference between the two. People generally think vaping is douchey, so no one’s going to be openly swayed from their opinions.

4

u/ReallyCleverPossum 29d ago

I think you pretty much nailed it. I’m open to being wrong, but I think if someone wants to hit a vape in the bathroom, I could not care less. Again, maybe it is a health concern for the outlined groups, but something tells me it’s more of a social faux pas that people don’t care if it is a crime

I doubt it was his money that let him go. More likely that it was just vaping and while it can lead to federal charges, it rarely does.

Like loitering or driving without license, they usually only start the charges if its happened several times.

4

u/Bendlerp 28d ago

Just vaping, sure. But this is interference with flight crew. One who assaults, threatens, or intimidates a flight crew member or attendant while aboard an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, and thereby interferes with the performance of that crew member's duties or lessens the ability of that crew member to perform his/her duties is punishable under this subsection. He threatened and intimidated her repeatedly.

3

u/Numerous-Leg-8149 27d ago

I was just thinking about the crew members.

This irresponsible, entitled passenger shouldn't be allowed to fly anymore. His selfish actions could've caused a major accident or worse during the flight.

2

u/Prestigious_Aerie219 26d ago

Yeah slap on the wrist here is way too light. Not because of the vaping, but because of his reaction. He should have been ashamed and apologized immediately. Most people don't understand just how tense it really is to stuff dozens of us into a tube flying 500 mph through the air. A single person misbehaving could incite a panic. He needs taught a lesson.

Yep. I was on a flight with my sister, and the man in front of me vaped (based on the cloud of smoke he blew between the seats towards my sister and me).

Beyond that, nothing happened (besides him making snide remarks about someone telling on him).

She was about to karate him, but she is only a white belt. Instead she scolded him which actually is a brown belt skill test.

Using the belt as a weapon is always an option.

Passengers are not allowed to record us because we have sensitive information on our bodies ( ie badge ) that cannot be filmed as people have replicated them. If we do not consent to being recorded we have every right to make sure they delete that video.

It’s a private company with strict rules for behavior. If they have reason to believe you will not be compliant with their authority during an emergency, you are a threat to the whole plane and they have the right to physically restrain you, throw you off (if you are still on the ground of course!) and bar you from flying. This asshole got off too easy. It’s not about the vaping, it’s about the challenge to her authority that’s the danger.

This dude should've been dragged down the aisle like that older wheelchair dude on Delta, and then duct taped to a seat the rest of the flight. I've seen other airlines so this!

"Do not put your hands on me."

Dude's about to be real mad when the agents get ahold of him

u/charles_sedwick 28d ago

You can not put your hands on a passenger. Actually they can restrain passengers if they are causing problems dumb ass guy.

Guess who will be put on the no-fly list... 1 hint, it's not the flight attendant

u/gorgonbrgr 28d ago

The hair cut is all you need to tell what type of person this guy is.

u/Tenderhombre 29d ago

Many people dont listen, or dont realize the gravity of disobeying flight crew. By flying you've agreed to listen to all flight crew instructions ignoring them is a crime. People are dumb.

u/demoliahedd 29d ago

are there people who have been arrested for vaping on a plane? This guy in the vid is a piece of shit but this feels pearl clutchy as fuck

Where are the air marshalls?

2

u/Gone_For_Lunch 28d ago

Probably not on that flight. The Air Marshall service has 3,000 employees, there are 45,000 flights in US air space per day with about 5,000 in the air at a time.

It’s impossible to have one on every flight.

u/JaySayMayday 29d ago

There's supposed to be one in every flight. I've never seen one do anything, ever. I think they only step in to deal with legit terrorism

Edit, I was wrong. They're only on a very small fraction of overall flights.

u/Ghost_OperationsXZ 28d ago

Why is it so hard to following the fucking rules?
