First off the incident was occurring in the F galley next to the cockpit door...that alone raises the threat level. Secondly...past reports have shown that if there were 2 then one 'uncovered' during an incident so it very well could be that there were not only 2 onboard. Third...appears this is local politics regarding the wife and judge husband...and thus an embarrassment to other Brazilian gov officials...other wise the issuance of replacement passports and the exit of the 2 would not been as tacitly 'approved' as it appears it was...IMHO senior Brazil officials wanted this over immediately and no official 'resistance' was given to the solution...
Lastly don't feel like refighting the revolutionary war and don't care about who invented the net so won't comment on that....other folks must have a lot more time on their hands....
