A PACK, NOT A HERD:

A Mexican national is in federal custody in Honolulu after witnesses said he threatened a sleeping baby and lunged toward the cockpit during a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu Saturday night.

Passengers arriving on Saturday night’s Northwest Airlines flight told authorities they were scared when Santiago Lol Tizol, 37, raged through the aisles, ignoring the flight crew and threatening to kill the baby.

He was believed to have been traveling alone, authorities told KITV-TV in Honolulu.

Passengers tackled and restrained Tizol when he lunged toward the cockpit.

Another air-safety success, without the involvement of the Homeland Security folks.
