I wouldn't have been so quick to punch the panic button about this incident, but we could see close(r) calls that would warrant immediate alerts to crews.
If you read the article you can see steve's current position.
How much closer of a call? So if there was a second simultaneous attempt would you have been a little quicker to pull the trigger? How about a third? Maybe we shouldn't have covered the story at all, it could have led to panic?
How about a discrete heads up to the F/A to look for bearded dudes playing with themselves.
