A passenger reportedly tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Honolulu-bound flight from Los Angeles
The US military on Friday scrambled two Air Force fighter jets to escort an American Airlines flight into Honolulu international airport after a disturbance was reported on board, a Pacific Command spokesman said.
Neither the military nor American Airlines immediately disclosed the nature of the disturbance, but local news media reported that a passenger had tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Honolulu-bound flight from Los Angeles.
HawaiiNewsNow said an airline crew member and an off-duty Honolulu police officer subdued the unruly passenger. US family: we were kicked off Delta flight for refusing to give up son's seat Read more
Citing unnamed sources, the news outlet also reported that the male passenger was Turkish and had earlier breached security at Los Angeles international airport but was assessed and allowed to board the flight anyway.

Why was this guy still alive after being stopped trying to get into the cockpit?
Because he wasn’t riding on Southwest (or, for that matter, Tianjin), I suppose.

Eggs Ackley. And impeach and remove ANY judge on any court that does not support that solution.
Also may want to dump body overboard in case he has a bomb secreted on him somewhere
When I wrote MINI, I should have explained the caliber of weapon I was thinking of.
And if I implied to hose the plane down with an Uzi; I apologize for that as well.
If the liner can transmit the location of just where the perp is on the plane...
...a smart weapon could auto-aim on the planes side (or top; for that matter) in a spot that is not very vulnerable to hit something vital to the planes flying.
Remember; we are NOT trying to put the perp gently to sleep without waking others; but to find an alternative to having to kill EVERYONE on board!
The Save the Whales! group will getcha for THIS!
Coming over the TOP of the liner would be better, as the perp would not even know the other plane was THERE!
Plus; shooting thru the side of the plane could line a lot of folks in a row to be hurt or killed.
From the top; not very many would be in the direct line of fire.
