On March 3 2016, A British man was removed from a plane at Luton airport after a passenger read a message on his mobile phone about “prayer” and reported him as a security threat. Laolu Opebiyi, age 40, from London, said he was forced to hand over his phone and give his password in order to understand his innocence after he tried to arrange a conference call prayer with friends using WhatsApp.
I think this article is important because it can be very dangerous for the flight and the other passenger. Laolu was using a phone on the flight which the phone or any electronic device should be turned off. Luckily he was just reading a text on his phone. No one was injured and that is another good thing.
