Passenger Causes Airliner To Turn Around

I'm going to preface this next article by saying that had I been on this flight, this man would have been beaten to death. A disruptive passenger yesterday caused a commercial jetliner bound for Hawaii to return to the Portland airport- 90 minutes into the flight.

The man refused to store his carry-on bags and made some suspicious remarks. Okay, it's understandable that the pilot was concerned about possible terrorism issues, but if I was a passenger on that plane and was THAT close to Hawaii when the plane turned around, they would have had bigger problems. Here's the story.
