Legit concern. He's got a weird (we'll leave the discussion as to whether or not it's unhealthy) habit and it made others uncomfortable. Check him out.

I didn't say he was doing anything wrong .... but he needs to exercise some caution with regard to what others may perceive. Over the past three years, as a whole, the population has become much more paranoid. Sitting down on an airplane and pulling out binoculars to write down all the registrations of the different airplanes you can see is harmless, but others who don't understand the hobby may not feel the same way. You're not allowed to watch airplanes from the roofs of most airport parking garages anymore ... common sense should have told the guy that doing it from within a commercial flight might be a great idea.
