I hadn't seen anything about the incident, which is why I didn't comment yesterday. But assuming there's any validity in the material garnered by the DFM it does tend to confirm my initial impression that the person concerned appear to be suffering from some sort of psychiatric issue. I was astonished to discover he'd actually been the US equivalent of a GP.
None of that, of course, excuses the deplorable actions taken by the airline staff who, far from ameliorating the situation, created a crisis which will cost them dearly. What's of greater concern, now the White House has been forced to apologise for stating yesterday that Hitler never used chemical weapons, the entire holocaust having apparently slipped whatever passes for their minds, is whether that individual in particular was targeted because of the implicit Presidential sympathy towards those of a racist proclivity.
