18. Did you read the statements of this passenger?
"After the shooting, law enforcement officers surrounded the plane. Inside, McAlhany said passengers were ordered to crouch under their seats. He said when he tried to pop up for a look, a flight attendant ordered him to get back down.

He said the man apparently left a backpack on the plane, adding that the other passengers were treated roughly when law enforcement boarded the plane after the shooting.

'They put a gun to the back of my head and said, `Put your hands on the seat,' '' he said. ``That was more scary than anything else.''"

This guy WAS an innocent passenger who WAS complying with law enforcement. Apparently, his "crime" was trying to see what was going on.

So we can look forward to having a loaded gun held to our heads if we happen to be innocent passengers on a flight with someone behaving oddly? Guilty until proved innocent.
