For this sort of disturbance, constraining the wacko's hands and feet should suffice.
For a serious terrorist threat, it should be, "What's that you say, Achmed? The one around your neck is too tight? Sorry, they only tighten -- see?" '-)

Agreed. But you have to understand their agenda.
Yep, the AP and AJC were too quick to spotlight the Bible passages and never mentioned the unlawful detention of a helpless female seatmate by an unbalanced nutcase. I don’t blame PAR35.
What agenda. You distorted the story. You have the agenda.
Where did you find that? If he would not let passengers out to use the bathroom while the seatbelt light was on, he might have been obeying the rules.
Well that’s no fun.
Uh, it was in the last paragraph and quoted the airline rep as saying they didn't have any knowledge of it.
Unruly could be a lot of things. I would hate to be called unruly because I chose to share a passage or two with a seatmate. There’s a difference between that and taking a poor lady hostage in her seat!!
That’s what made it postworthy.
A guy arrested for quoting the Bible? What message is the newspaper trying to send?
The folks who are attacking the excerpt and summary?
I wonder about their agenda as well.
Give it a rest.
He was arrested for being unruly. You clipped the story and then ‘summarized’ that he was arrested for quoting the bible. Give it a rest and admit you bent the truth to your agenda.
I guess anyone that prefers the truth would make you wonder. You should try telling the truth sometime.

A Delta Airlines Boeing 757-200, flight DL-1050 from Seattle,WA to Atlanta,GA (USA) with 178 passengers and 6 crew, diverted to Nashville,TN due to an unruly passenger on board. The airplane landed safely about 3:45 hours after departure from Seattle. A passenger was removed from the aircraft by police.
The airplane reached Atlanta with a delay of 90 minutes.
Delta Airlines reported a passenger had become unruly without disclosing any further details.
Police reported, that the male passenger (22) prevented his female seat neighbour from walking to the lavatory telling her, that his blood would be over her. A number of passengers subdued the man, who in turn tried to bite one of them into the leg.

Aw, you give it a rest. What is “unruly”? This could have been overreaction by airline personnel following an unreasonable protest by another passenger. Now we know he really was unruly, but PAR35 was right to think the AP story smelled funny.
Quoting the Bible is the only specific conduct given in the story. Sorry that you are having problems with reading comprehension.
What about if that someone was trying to bite another passenger?
Yes, NOW we know the gory details. We all agree he’s a nut. But lay off the poor poster, OK?
I fly quite a bit. If somebody needs to use the restroom, it's not my place to police them. Rules be damned. It's on the individual. I'm leaving it up to the flight crew.
Uh, For you.
