I have no patience with people that are quick to invoke the "rules" and the "law". The rules and the law exist to be questioned. Had not Rosa Parks questioned the back-seat law in the 60s, it's possible that Blacks would still be riding in the back of buses in this country today (instead of being at the White House). Let's face it: There are a lot of stupid regulations in place these days, especially after 9/11, rules that are curbing our civil rights, and some (like you probably) are saying "thank you for taking away my freedoms and giving me back personal security." LOL... I did have a reason to get up when the seat-belt sign was on, but I won't tell you why. I don't give information to my opponents, especially when they are a stranger and a "sympathizer" of the airline I'm complaining about. In case you haven't noticed, I also alluded to the Gestapo-like tactics used by United. I vowed that I won't ever fly this again airline, no matter what morons like you say! Ever since this incident, I flew another airline and had a wonderful experience.
