It might disturb the meal service too. It's a rare occurrence and much better than allowing the aircraft to be employed in the manner on 9-11-2001. Aircraft are typically multiply redundant.

It's a matter of whether everyone is forced to wait like sheep to be slaughtered or has a means of putting a rapid end to the problem.
