At the point where the guy was reprimanded by the flight crew and calmed
down,
the "security" issue was extinguished.

"...supervising senior crown attorney...said that when flight attendants
approached Husar, he became enraged, deliberately spilling a container of
alcohol and engaging in "the boisterous behavior of a drunk."... "

The crown attorney was not on the aircraft, but in all liklihood got his
account from the crew.

"...said Corona, adding that Husar quickly calmed down on the plane after
being reprimanded. "There was no threat or no violence. Certainly nobody
was
at risk safety-wise."..."

The defendant's attorney was not on the aircraft either, and was in no way
qualified to assess risk.

Isn't it amaziing how willingly the defense attorney 's excuse is accepted
by liebrals when it is one of their own.


Something p'd off the pilot enough to
divert the plane and have the guy arrested.

Not necessarily p'd off. I've sat in that pilot's seat in similar
circumstances, and I'll tell you, you do not let passengers set policy on
issues of safety. One warning, then they're off. Personal politics need
not have played a part, although you can presume so if you like.

Is this a normal response any time
somebody gets drunk on an airplane, discusses politics with a seat mate,
and
touches the knee of the person sitting next to him?

Now you're over-simplifying to make the event seem silly. Obvious
rhetorical trick. But when a person becomes an obnoxious disruption on
board, it may well be the proper response. It is the Captain's call.
