That thread has multiple videos of them dealing with him. I spent about fifteen minutes formatting that thread to break this on FR a few hours ago, including him shouting about jihad, but was automatically informed after submission that Reddit is not allowed on FR. Hopefully that only means for posts, and not comments.
Wow, news before it hits the media. Wow.
Glad they got him.
Is it true what they are saying on reddit, that you should make sure news orgs know you have the rights to the video and can demands tens of thousands for it?
Looks like a total bats-hit crazy panic attack.
We need ejection seats on airliners.
That would appear to be YouTube's problem, and I'm sure they have extensive experience dealing with it (only to have the video yet again posted, if it's sufficiently interesting, LOL).
Flying is faschism. Eschew it.
This is one reason I always have a roll of duct tape in my carryon....
Not fuzzy handcuffs?

You can sharpen an expired credit card like a knife. The plastic will take an edge keen enough to shave with though it will not keep that edge very well. You can keep one in your wallet and it makes a very serviceable self defense weapon in an emergency. It won’t set off a metal detector and doesn’t look suspicious.
It doesn’t even need to be expired, as long as the mag stripe isn’t damaged, and you handle it carefully when swiping. Being expired might arouse suspicion.
My Chase United Club card that I use for business travel has a metallic core laminated with plastic. Someone said it was titanium... not sure... but the card doesn’t permanently deform if bent... perhaps a high carbon or spring steel. Anyways, I think a pencil stabbed into the eyeball might be a better weapon against a hijacker, as opposed to trying to shave their bikini area with an old debit card.
