Unruly Passenger Subdued

Breaking news - and few details available as of this writing. But the disturbing part of the story to me is that the nut apparently tried to open the emergency exit door of the plane mid-flight. While common sense tells us that a passenger couldn't just get up and open one of these doors in flight, if you're anything like me (I'm not exactly the most stoic passenger on a given flight) you might have worried about such an eventuality yourself. The brief AP reports don't clear this up, but answer's here if you're curious.
