Pinky. It did fleetingly cross my mind that my Dad may have lost the plot but I didn't really entertain it for more than a second or three.

Singapore might decide to invoke its aptly-named Hijacking of Aircraft and Protection of Aircraft and International Airports Act.

BBear, we can tie their legs up if we think it's needed, you just have to make sure there is ONLY hand restraints plus a seatbelt (on the lap as normal) for landing for the reason you stated. During the flight they can be trussed up like a turkey for all anyone cares. Once someone has threatened to kill/destroy the aircraft, the niceties are OVER!
