Your argument for death on the spot is purely DUMB and is full of problems. Had the guy been killed by the other passengers, there would have been no way to interrogate him and perhaps find out more about what lay behind his bomb scheme, who else was involved, etc. That, in turn, could have led to prevention of future bombings. Also, if the passengers had killed him, some nutcake conspiracy theorists would probably proclaim that there was someone on board specifically to kill the varmint if saomething went wrong, so that he could not be arrested and questioned.

However, you are entitled to your zany opinion. The redneck cowboy mentality often seems to seize upon wrongheaded and counterproductive "solutions" to real problems.
