Man Jailed For Pelting Flight Attendant With Snacks

STEVE INSKEEP, host:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.

After a plane takes off, the flight crew says you may use electronic devices. Maybe now they'll have to clarify that they mean things like music players, not the new electronic cigarettes. A passenger used one on a plane from L.A. to Utah. When told to stop, he allegedly got so mad he pelted the flight attendant with peanuts and pretzels. He was arrested after landing, but at least the crew did not tell him during the flight that the smoking area was right outside the door.
