Destroying an aircraft to prevent it from being flown is not the way
Agree with the statement, but there's a big difference between disabling and destroying. Also, there may not be ground handlers if they were warned away, or you're in a remote ramp or at an unfriendly airport.

I still think quickly preventing the aircraft from operating before trying to escape is the right strategy, subject to ascertaining the actual, rather than hypothetical, situation and using some of the judgment we're paid to possess.
