I note that the bloke is being held without bail until December 16. According to my law enforcement friends, jail, even remand, is going to be quite a severe shock to this little flower. My suspicion is that when he is convicted he will get a suspended sentence and never be heard from again.
There is also the civil action question. I assume it would be possible for an airline to sue him for the costs of disruption and the go around.
I hope he has no emulators. Setting up authentication would be a PITA although I guess it could be done pretty quickly.
