I feel like you have to be brave messing with a plane's network. People tend to get really touchy when airplanes are involved.

I was going to say this too.

I once merely mentioned the words “Heart Attack” on a plane and was kicked off by the flight attendants. No context, they just heard the words and forced me off.

There are things that trigger them because of laws and regulations like mentioning “bomb” (even if you’re describing something fantastic).

So messing with the gogo flight entertainment is up there with flirting with terrorism charges.

I do not buy this.

I was on airplane with large aggressive dog, that was harassing other passengers. I was worried it would ampute my limb mid flight.

I voluntary left before take off, dog stayed!

I agree, this sounds a bit too stretched. Or maybe they were looking for any excuse under the sun to get someone off what could have been an overbooked flight. But just saying the two words "heart attack" would not be enough
