I suspect that these days, mate, other punters are less likely to just sit there than they were pre 11 Sep '01. What happened to a rogue on an Impulse 717 a year or two back might give an indication of 'passenger intervention' these days. Apparently that chap had a bit of difficulty walking off the aircraft unaided after the punters had finished with him...
