I may not have made it clear that I was referring to other incidents as wwll as this one. See for instance this post in this thread

Note that this flight was outbound so immigration may have been less of an issue, but either way those pax aren't going anywhere until passports are returned or replaced, whilst those who took their bags could take another flight out immediately if they needed to.
