Public won't buy that.
They also won't buy the concept that a swat team will neutralise the accomplice without further risk to passengers, either by friendly fire or the accomplice preemptively detonating his device.
What risk was there in quickly removing the suspect device and the nutter? Or disembarking passengers, without hand luggage into busses?
Don't need to wait for a swat team to achieve any of that.
What certainty was there that there wasn't a real device with a timer onboard?
There is no outcry that the guys who tackled the suspect in the air put lives at risk.

Probably checking the legal rights of the nutter. PC and all that.
