I was going to link the same thing Jeff H. I saw it at Boortz’ this morning.
But… all it says was BS was the guy saving the day.

Read this part
But before the Boeing 717 made it to the runway, the pilot decided to return the plane to the gate. A flight attendant had apparently asked a male passenger twice to put away a cellphone or camera, but the man had not done so. The flight attendant then took the device from the man.
At the gate, the passenger — who didn’t speak English — and a companion were asked to leave the plane, which they did without incident, the airline reported.

So she took the device? Why? How did Mr Oh so nice but doesn’t speak English have to say about that?
And then they went back to the gate, getting out of the line for take-off at least, possibly sitting on the taxi-way for who knows how long.

Notice they claim the one guy “and a companion” were asked to leave. There’s some puff about “language problem” but then they say this

officials allowed the man, and 12 others traveling with him, to reboard,

Ummmm, first you say only two were taken off, then you say 13 “reboard”ed. So which is it?

Something happened, it involved 13 guys and it was serious enough for the pilot to abort his take-off, return to the airport and question 13 guys off the plane. That story is about useless for telling us what happened.

Methinks they doth tell you to stop protesting too much.

Oh, and check out this bit
A replacement flight crew was brought on board, but that is not uncommon,

Oh really? So why did this one change?
AirTran said. A delay such as this one could quickly affect scheduling for later flights, according to AirTran spokesman

It could, huh? Well, did it? Oh, you’re not saying.
I saw you palm that card.

Yup, that guy might not have been on the flight, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened.
