Sounds like the pax intended to be more than just unruly. Opening a door could be deadly. Whatever was in the brown bag could have been planned to be deadly, also, by his comment when asked what was in it.... "you'll see".
But, probably just a nut job. Thanks, again, to the pax for keeping everybody safe.

Well, if a door is 7'x3' and the press diff is 7 psi, it would take 21,168 pounds of force to open the door. The Hulk could probably do it, but not a mere mortal
This idiot is just lucky he didn't end up dead like that Southwest pax a few years ago.
