Will the "drag the passenger off the plane" incident inspire other customers to try and create a problem on a United flight? Create some kind of a disturbance, get themselves kicked off the plane, plug into social media and hope for Twitter outrage and a big settlement? Looks like it. Here's the headline currently at people.com, about an incident that took place Saturday afternoon:

Utah Couple Claims They Were Kicked Off United Airlines Flight on the Way to Their Wedding (read it here)

Of course if you try something like this you're at the mercy of headline writers, and over at NPR it's no big deal:
