This is a mental state that people need to sort out before getting on a plane, frankly. I'd be tempted to suggest that people in this state not be allowed to travel - they could well be a danger to the rest of us and to themselves in the long run - PTSD etc.
Common sense vs. empathizing with a minuscule number of flier's feelings and state of mind...what should rule ?

When an evacuation order comes, people still do not follow instructions. So repetition in warnings win by a mile over one person's personal state of mind.
Odds are such a person may freeze in such a situation and hinder others' exits.
