No. As I said, the captain's decision was wrong. He should have unloaded the psychotic passenger at the gate. He hadn't pushed back when he evaluated her, so she could have been turned over to paramedics for treatment.

As the miserable journey unfolded though, she proved to be harmless. I'm sure some pax were concerned when she started beating the window with her cane, so I relieved her of it. She could not have caused significant damage with it though and she never threatened any other people on board.
