Delta kicks passenger off flight for going to the bathroom

The friendly skies continue to turn increasingly hostile, as The Milwaukee Sentinel Journal reports that a passenger was removed from a Delta flight for going to the bathroom before takeoff. It seems the man, Kima Hamilton, was on a flight on April 18 from Atlanta to Milwaukee, where he lives and teaches art. The plane was taxied, and the passengers had been instructed to remain seated, but after the plane stayed up for another half hour—according to an eyewitness—Hamilton had to go to the bathroom, so he did. Hamilton had attempted to use the plane’s bathroom earlier, but was told by a flight attendant that they’d lose their place “in line” to take off. After that, a couple of flight attendants took turns asking Hamilton to disembark, without explaining why he had to, or if he’d be allowed to take off with the rest of the passengers once the matter (which was still unclear) had been resolved.
