I agree about the in-air situation. Passengers are not going to sit by quietly while a handful of yahoos try to take over a plane. I just don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. I'm not trying to be critical; I'm not one of those who sits by neither. I shared a couple of those experiences on this web site and got flailed for it. Good thing I didn't share some of my more adventurous experiences. Then again, I'd be accused of making it all up.
