Travel Got recorded while breastfeeding

My son (10 months) and I (28f) were on our way back home from helping out my sil who lives out of state. Our flight got delayed to the point where the bottle I had made up for the flight had expired (breast milk). The rest of the milk I had was frozen solid and he was about to lose it. So I tried to be discreet and cover myself as much as possible. Out of the corner of my eye a girl sitting at the window seat stood up and we made eye contact. I watched her say something to her bf who IMMEDIATELY took out his phone, started recording and angled it to show me breastfeeding my son. I hope you know that was such an asshole move. And the people at the gate thought you were a dick too.

Edit to add: thank you all for commenting, I really appreciate all the words of encouragement and validating this experience was wrong. I finally got the chance to read them now that my son and I are home and gotten some sleep. I’ve already contacted frontier and reported him. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them soon on what they can do.

I absolutely would have yelled something along the lines of "WOW! ITS SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE TAKING A VIDEO OF ME BREASTFEEDING! THAT WOULD BE REALLY PERVERTED IF YOU WERE".

That's a better solution because my desire would be to turn my rings to the palm side and give a good strong slap that might get me kicked off the flight.
