The part that bothers me is ordering all passengers to put their hands on their heads for the remainder of the flight. Isn't that a bit extreme or are we at the point now where we will do anything we are told without question?

Apparently so, Russ.

I agree, though I'd have put my hands on my head too. See 35.

Not to worry. The control freaks are taking advantage of the knee jerk atomsphere from Sept 11 to pass all kinds of new restrictions on human behavior. I predict there will be a backlash in the next couple of years and it will cost lives. Imagine the congressional hearings after a fatal passenger mutiny.
