Just Getting Belligerently Drunk On a Plane Means You're a Terrorist Now

A flight into SFO was diverted to Colorado Springs on Saturday because a guy got drunk and ornery at the back of the plane and was demanding more booze. Apparently, this situation was a serious enough national security risk that two F-16s had to be deployed to provide an escort to the plane in its emergency landing. WTF, people. Couldn't the flight attendants just have slapped this guy, or rufied him, or something? KRON4's full coverage of this event, after the jump.
