To answer the question posed by the headline, no. Certainly there is neither a statute nor a regulation that says that polite disagreement is a general ground for removal from a flight. Millions of people are flying each week, and they may have a variety of opinions, but removing passengers is very rare. A few anecdotes here and there do not change the general statistics that plenty of people are flying. It's okay (as here) to ask a question. Maybe you will not be satisfied with the answer, but the flight can go on with you on board.

> It's okay (as here) to ask a question. Maybe you will not be satisfied with the answer, but the flight can go on with you on board. The article discusses several incidents where this seems to not be the case. Are you implying these incidents didn't happen? The problem seems to be that no violation of any rule or statute is necessary for removal, it is entirely arbitrary and devoid of common sense at more than one level.
