Hmmm... probably just nuts. But no one has to be told what to do any more.

The Boeing 737 jet was supposed to take its 33 passengers and six crew members to Denver, but was turned back because the unnamed passenger "failed to comply with crew instructions," United Airlines spokesman Luke Punzenberger said.

The pilots told air traffic controllers that after the passenger began acting violently, other passengers subdued him, according to LiveATC.net, which provides audio of air traffic control transmissions.

That's why I think hijackings are a thing of the past. Box cutters wouldn't be enough to take over a plane today.

I doubt he'll be flying anywhere soon after that experience.

One of a growing lexicon of words that will get you a one way ticket to Guantanomo.

What a maroon!
