Why can't I be on a plane where someone rushes the cockpit?

Nobody is better at plane beatdowns than Wesley Snipes.  Nobody.
As I was reading yet another story of some drunk fool rushing the cockpit of a plane, I suddenly realized that one of the things I want to do before I die is be involved in beating the crap out of someone who causes a panic on an airplane.  It seems like every week you hear about someone being restrained by passengers on an airplane for completely losing their mind - and being part of this abruptly improvised plane posse sounds like a real hoot.

That's not to say I want to be on board when the plane is actually taken over by terrorists; that is a situation best handled by men like John Cutter.  I want my victim to be more vulnerable, hopefully drunk, maybe overweight...someone who will not be able to really fight back.  And I really hope its a passenger who I already found annoying - someone who brought an Extra Value meal or Chinese food onto the plane, treats the stewardess poorly, etc.  It would relieve so much of the frustration that I've built up flying over the years to finally come close to choking one of these people to death.

Just once I'd like to say, "Get off my plane!"
