One Passenger Decided to Use a Movie Projector Aboard a Flight

Ever been seated next to someone on a plane and been forced to hear every word of what they are watching? The practice has been frowned upon, with most passengers using earphones during their viewing sessions, but one traveler decided to take onboard sharing to a whole new level. 

While Douglas Lazic-Kirk was on a recent flight, a fellow passenger decided to project the movie he was watching onto the overhead bins. 

“I’ve flown on more than 800 flights to 147 countries and never seen anything like it,” said the Aussie who took a video of the experience. For reference, the film was The Patriot starring Mel Gibson.

In response to the unusual incident, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) decided to have a little fun on Instagram. 

“Not reel-ly sure how to travel with your electronic devices? Don’t lose your cool-ing system,” read a post on the official account. It then proceeded to hand out tips about which electronic items are allowed in carry-ons.

“If these tips don’t re-movie all doubt and your packing concerns have you feeling frozen, we have something Elsa you might find useful,” the post continued, urging the 1.2 million followers to reach out if they have further questions. 

Who says the TSA doesn’t have a sense of humor.
