Perhaps after thge incident on WN last year, people chose to exercise restraint & once they figured out what the scum's intentions were, it was too late.
Since most of us here spend more than the average amount of time in the air, we should be more attune to in flight events and know when something out of the ordinary is happening. We should resolve to stay alert & react whenever anything happens. As for me, I'd rather disable or challenge someone who acts out of line or is unruly and risk a lawsuit or arrest on the ground than to have something like this happen again.
