Most of the posters on this thread show admirable tolerance and understanding towards a fellow human being who had a momentary lapse of rationality, whilst apparently under intense and unusual stress, and threatened an extreme action that he was unlikely to carry out in spite of being notionally capable of so doing.
I would like to think that similar tolerance and understanding would be shown to any air traveller who made a similarly unguarded outburst on the spur of the moment whilst undergoing the intense and unusual stress that can occur these days when trying to catch a flight in an overcrowded airport or discover the truth behind why one's flight has been delayed or cancelled.
Somehow though, I doubt it!
