A Florida-based evangelist was removed from an Alaska Airlines flight at Orlando International Airport after delivering a brief sermon while passengers waited for departure, prompting a dispute over religious expression, airline safety and passenger conduct.
Whitney Lynn, who regularly shares videos of her public evangelism on social media, was escorted from the aircraft before it departed for San Diego on Thursday. She later claimed the incident demonstrated that "demons don't like the name of Jesus," while Alaska Airlines said the decision was based on safety concerns raised by the flight crew.
