Wasn't another passenger Duct taped to their seat about a year ago? Or did I have a really vivid dream about the future ..
EDIT. It seems to have happened a few times. American Airlines in particular seem to like it.

I feel like I could bust out of that much duct tape. Madness is wasted on the old.
I fucking did when I was like 15.
Some bullies thought it would be a fun "prank" to duct tape me to a support pillar. But they did a pretty shit job of it and I was able to shrug it off without too much effort. They looked very sad about that.
Shitty. But, anything that makes a bully sad can't be all bad.
I had a bully and I never did get to put them in their place myself, but I at least got to watch them crash and burn in the end.
Tape job wasn't that great because I think a few passengers basically had to sit on him to restrain him during landing. He was trying to get up to hit people.
If I'm one of those passengers having to pull a Nurse Ratchet on some mad bastard, I better be getting free drinks for the rest of that flight.
