The guy really had to go to the bathroom and didn't listen to the flight attendants telling him to sit down. We were first in line to take off and it forced the plane to leave the runway. The guy also caused trouble at the gate, so the plane headed back to the gate to take him off. Once they discovered he had been speaking arabic and that it was Yom Kippur the crazy begun. The plane filled up with LAPD, TSA, and FBI. Paranoia began with the passengers quickly. I met the bomb testing guy. We all had to deplane while they went over the whole plane with dogs and lots of people. We got rescreened and got back on the plane. 4+ hours later, the plane took off. All because a guy couldn't wait until after takeoff to pee. I was on the plane, in the back row.
