Mid-flight sexual play lands US couple afoul of anti-terrorism law
Nov 14 6:53 PM US/Eastern
A couple's ill-concealed sexual play aboard a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles got them charged with violating the Patriot Act, intended for terrorist acts, and could land them in jail for 20 years.
According to their indictment, Carl Persing and Dawn Sewell were allegedly snuggling and kissing inappropriately, "making other passengers uncomfortable," when a flight attendant asked them to stop.
"Persing was observed nuzzling or kissing Sewell on the neck, and ... with his face pressed against Sewell's vaginal area. During these actions, Sewell was observed smiling," reads the indictment filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On a second warning from the flight attendant, Persing snapped back threatening the flight attendant with "serious consequences" if he did not leave them alone.
The comment was enough to have the couple, both in their early 40s, arrested when the plane reached its destination in Raleigh, North Carolina, and charged with obstructing a flight attendant and with criminal association.
They have been placed under legal surveillance until their trial on February 5. If found guilty, they both could be sent to jail for up to 20 years.
Persing's lawyer William Peregoy said his client was not feeling well when he placed his head on his companion's lap, and that he only threatened the flight attendant with reporting him to his superiors on landing.

The headline and lead of the article both seem slightly inaccurate. Later in the article, it states that they weren't charged due to their "snuggling," but because, when asked to stop, the man "threatened" a flight attendent.

this guy is an idiot. he was trying for diddling his wife in public and then wanted to feel big telling off the poor flight attendant who caught him. its like trying to intimidate a parking cop by yelling in their face, you don't do it.
Bow ties are coool.

I have to wonder if the press didn't skew the account simply as a way to bitch about Homeland Security.

That is a distinct possibility.

Carlito saw this in a cartoon once.. "What are you looking at? You're NOSEY! You're EAVESDROPPING! You're JEALOUS because we're doing the reverse cowgirl and you're not! LEAVE US ALONE OR WE'LL CHARGE YOU WITH INVASION OF PRIVACY!!" "Then get out of the street *honk* *honk*." Gee, everyone in a nine mile radius can hear you. That's not cool.

Maybe, although considering how much legitimate stuff there is to complain about, I'm not sure why they needed to.
