Los Angeles frequent flyer pulled from flight for 'Atom Bomb' tattoo

~

Pearson was temporarily asked to step off the plane and learned that another passenger had reported him for suspicious behavior, and noted that he had the words "Atom Bomb" tattooed across his fingers.

Questioned by the captain and the flight attendant, Pearson explained that the tattoos referred to a childhood nickname.

After answering a few more questions, Pearson -- who is a frequent Delta passenger and has flown over 142,000 miles with the airline this year alone -- was allowed to return to his seat.
