Is there a psychological diagnosis for the people who imagine that airline safety rules and regulations should not apply to them?

This news story and video, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/lindsay-bienaime-us-airways-arrest-cell-phone_n_3491832.html?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl3|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D335447 caught my eye.

This woman clearly believes that the standard airline safety procedures do not/should not apply to her, and continues with the delusion as the cops take her off the airplane in handcuffs.

Nobody is forced to fly in an airplane. But these days, if they choose to do so, they have to go through several layers of bullshit to make it happen. Otherwise, they don’t fly. Pretty simple.

But I just wondered if we are seeing a symptom of something that has a clinical name?
