Wavering...I also wouldn't recommend playing the "I'm being kidnapped" card as a panacea for all the reasons stated above by Tangoalphad. There are many parts of the world, both east and west, where you really really don't want to do that.

As has been stated for example it's possible on international flights to divert to airports that lack the likes of customs and immigration, or are perhaps not designated as ports of entry. Calling the local Feds, or worse still just insisting on being offloaded, might not lead to the automatic restoration of your human rights.
