Any diversion at this point is being looked at suspiciously, as we don't know what is REALLY going on in the cockpit. So if you divert you will be escorted. No big deal really as long as you continue to behave rationally. Dive for the deck start terrain hugging at barber pole and you might be in for a short flight however.
As to the pax being frightened on the ground. I suspect that most of them didn't see the incident in question that provoked the response, they only saw the response. I further submit to you that those pax that were seated near the lav were VERY greatfull of the same armed response.
In my air rage case from 2 years ago it was a similar thing. The people in the back of the plane that never saw anything were frightened by manchester's finest pouring into the aircraft. The people in the front that saw the jerk kick open the cockpit door were very greatfull and a suprising large number of them showed up in crown court to testify.
All in all, if you disobey a flight attendant and start shouting anti american slogans, expect that sort of treatment from now on, as it SHOULD BE!.
Cheers

Since recent events were extreme to the point of surreal unreality, it would behove anyone traveling by air to be extremely circumspect, or to expect somewhat extreme reaction to any innapropriate behaviour. If our Iranian friend hadn't worked that one out perhaps he has by now, and with any luck, served as a reminder to any other dimbo who hasn't got the message that right now isn't the right time for being a jerk.
