Daily Talker: Passenger Poked With A Pen

We've all been there.  The long security lines, the delays, the cramped seats.  These days many would say flying can be a stressful occasion.  Apparently, one woman flying from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire had enough.

The woman was kicked off the Southwest Airlines flight 577 after she poked another passenger with a pen because he was snoring.

After the incident, the woman was taken off the plane. She was accommodated on a later flight.  Once the woman was removed, the plane took off as scheduled. The flight landed in Manchester at about 6 p.m. yesterday.

Michael Sutton was traveling with the man who was poked. He said his friend is OK just "shocked".

On Twitter, Sutton thanked Southwest and Chicago Police for taking the "psycho woman" off the plane quickly.

What do you think of the airline removing the passenger for poking a man with a pen?
