Um...if you're being physically disruptive on an aircraft in flight, and the only way to subdue you is physical restraint, I think nearly any non-lethal (and, ideally, minimally injurious) method is warranted.

This isn't like when that Kentucky doctor got dragged off an airplane in 2017. Clear and present threats to a planeload of people require proportionate measures.

Honestly, given the way people are behaving today, I think every plane should have security personnel. Flight attendants should not be responsible for subduing violent passengers.
