I don't know if the laws are the same everywhere, but officers in my state have said that you shouldn't attempt a citizen's arrest, because there's a good chance you will end up being charged with kidnapping. Not really an issue in a life or death situation, but food for thought for vigilantes.

That is a myth.

There's too high a ratio of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s in the world to allow everybody to carry guns onto planes. (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s + confined spaces + guns = tragedy waiting to happen.
