In hindsight, the CAPTAIN better "NOT" come out of the cockpit to handle an alleged Level ONE threat. In doing so, he or she could jeopardize the safety of the cockpit. That incident or any incident in the cabin could be a terror plot. The "form" is given to anyone who is disruptive or physically abusive. That's part of the debate. Was it warranted?
