The Female FA was very stern after they subdued him. Seat belts on, electronics away, etc... Tensions were high and they were just trying to get and keep control and calm. Also if I am guessing the guy who got told this was standing as we were on approach with a cell phone camera, two no-no's on any flight as we all know. Anyways, thanks for those also who gave this over 5 year lurker support on this post! Safe Travels!

Yet another unruly passenger - AA 1561
(CNN) -- The unruly passenger who had to be restrained aboard an American Airlines flight to San Francisco appears to have "mental issues," a law enforcement source said Monday.
Rageit al Murisi was "pounding on the cockpit door" minutes before he was subdued on American Airlines Flight 1561 on Sunday night, said Sgt. Michael Rodriguez.

That was my first thought too. Can we get some of our investment back on this junk science program if they aren't even going to identify this guy, the person that wrote the "bomb" note (and left it in the lav) and the guy trying to open up the emergency door midflight?

He wasn't concealing any liquids in his carry-on bag and he testicles "felt" fine to the TSO. What else is TSA supposed to do???

Epic fail on the part of the SPOTniks.
The Behavior Detection Officer (BDO) program utilizes non-intrusive behavior observation and analysis techniques to identify potentially high-risk passengers. BDOs are designed to detect individuals exhibiting behaviors that indicate they may be a threat to aviation and/or transportation security.

Murisi was quickly restrained by employees and passengers, according to American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith.
I guess pax really do react, proving that TSA is not the "last line of defense".
I am a bit confused as to why so many of these Isolated Incidents™ have occurred within the last few days..

I think he would have to have mental issues if he failed to recognize that pounding on the cockpit door and yelling 30 minutes prior to landing is not a good idea for anyone at this moment in history -- especially if you hold a Yemeni passport.

Go back a few weeks prior to OBL taken out, and I'm aware of several Isolated Incidents™ that didn't make national media, let alone local media.
