I'm not sure what his deal was. BUT I have to say, Hannity & Colmes totally missed the "Allahu Akbar" part of the video in the segment I just watched. Kimberly Guilfoyle quietly mentioned it but overtalk drowned it out. Colmes whined about how we wouldn't even know about this or be talking about it if he hadn't been from "southeast Asia"... totally ignoring that he was screaming what all terrorists do when they are attacking. Again, I don't think there's any evidence he was a terrorist, probably just a nut... but ignoring what he was shouting is disgusting, but not surprising. I don’t believe this guy was a jihadist..

The reason isn't clear, though. Quite odd. Well, there’s no doubt he was trying to cause a scene. The reason isn’t clear, though.

Worried, but not panicked? Don't know about the rest of you but I'd rather suffer a root canal than fly anymore. Unfortunately, it's not an option due to time/distance in most cases. If this guy was in some kind of custody or "escort" situation, how dare they not place him where he could not be a disruption/danger to the rest of the passengers.

They know him. That to me is the most important fact to 'need to know' right now. Quite curious tho. I think the two guys on either side of him, at least one of them, was traveling with him.

I think he is a prisoner of these men. The airline isn't concerned, and they're making decisions about whether or not he gets water ("if you don't calm down, then you don't get water"). The way he says "hell" and "mate" suggests that he's from the UK or Australia. It's possible that he's being extradited. One of the men restraining him says "You're going home to your mother." His panic seems real... it doesn't seem like an act. There are a couple possibilities: paranoid schizophrenic, afraid of flying, afraid of confined spaces, or perhaps he thinks there is a chance they're going to give him the Maher Arar treatment by sending him off for torture or execution. The last one seems most likely, because he keeps saying they're going to shoot him. Also of note is that the prisoner mentions several times that his captors are "cheating." Perhaps the circumstances of his extradition were a bit shady, which might explain why he thinks they're going to kill him. I don't hear a Canadian accent among his captors, so they could be Americans. CIA, perhaps. But the audio is bad, so they could be Canadian. On a less serious note: "I'm going to be die today" is the best line since "Don't tase me, bro!" His name seems to be “Jay.” I think he is a prisoner of these men.
