3/ ATC don't direct the Aircraft to return in regards to operational matters onboard, only the Captain decides what he wants to do.
IC,
So long as a small dash of some sort to show respect goes to the right people.
Boss had said no more 'gifts'. It began to look as if things were going s l o w l y. OK for boss to make rules from comfort of UK office so small gift re-instated and things operated normally - real politik
Not complaining, merely remarking.
Actually, IAF saved our bacon one day by manufacturing blank for defective hydraulic system to get us away. We arranged direct delivery of aircraft parts for their boss which he reckoned would be held up by Bombay customs.
Always hoped Harriers buzzing around saw us before we saw them
Goa generally has quick turn arounds

The argument about ATC "ordering" the aircraft back is a somewhat empty one as they had an open cargo door and couldn't possibly do anything else. Even if the miscreant had been considerate enough to close it behind him (as if!) it would be a semi-suicidal Captain who didn't return for a thorough security search after an event like that.
Rotate on this!

Actually, on a 737, you can open the cargo
Door from inside.
Door from inside.
Given the design of the 737 hold door, would the door actually fall out of the aircraft if it was opened and not damaged? Bags might, but i don't know if the door would..

I believe this was Arrow Air, they went around, closed the door and kept trucking. KMIA circa mid 90's.
