Good idea
I was reading the tale of the nutjob on a plane who threatened to kill a child, tried to barge into the cockpit, but was thankfully subdued by passengers when I read this line:
The man was put in plastic “tough cuff” restraints aboard the plane and detained for the remainder of the flight, said Scott Ishikawa, state Department of Transportation spokesman.
Seriously, it’s probably not a bad idea to buy some of those next time you fly. You can get them here.
Update: Chris in comments has a better idea, Zip Ties. Much less conspicuous.

Hell, I’m a network admin. I already carry around something very similar: zip ties.

Even better and much less conspicuous.

I thought they were standard issue on the plane.

They are? Good to know. Still, I’d likely be more comfortable carrying my own.
