There are reports on the local news that eye witnesses are saying he was actually asked to leave the plane because he "slammed the bathroom door so hard" his behavior alarmed the Captain and that the incident was not related to his using his iPad.

Oscar De La Hoya was on the flight and said that Baldwin became "a little angry" with the FAs. If a pro boxer thinks you're "angry," you're probably making a fool of yourself...

other passengers reported he was actually on the phone making a call when he was asked to turn it off ( http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/alec_baldwin_thrown_off_flight_at_ikgro0tlAWEveH4IMoa4YK)
Then his rants ....would have thrown him off to if I'd been the captain.
Now his tweeding shows how simple minded he is...
