Recall years ago when SV (Royal decree) banned smoking on domestic flights. A Saudi in F/C on my flight to DHA lit up and gave the finger to the purser. Notified DHA ops that security was needed upon arrival.
When the door was opened, two security types entered, grabbed the guy by the ankles and hauled him down the boarding steps, head bouncing off every step. Found out later he was arrested and held for six months.
End of problem.
The aircraft commander should allow security personnel to do their jobs.
