Considering that the captain on board an aircraft is the highest authority on board said aircraft and has the powers of arrest it would make for an interesting situation if this pilot had instructed police who had boarded to remove themselves under threat of arrest if they did not comply.I personally wouldn't like to try it, but it would certainly open a can of worms regarding jurisdiction.
