Will in-flight video cameras become the new tool used by airlines to combat legal jihad?

Michelle Malkin posts Video: Meltdown on an alleged Air Canada Flight which is most definitely worth watching. The video tape is of a Muslim man (likely Pakistani or Indian based on his accent), handcuffed but still going beserk, mid-flight, shouting "Shoot me! I'm going to die today! I'm going to die! Allahu Akhbar! fu—- white people!" And more.

The man is surrounded by four, middle-aged white men who ever-so-gently try and calm him down, telling him he's not going to die and that no one wants to hurt him. When the beserk passenger is somehow able to slip out of his plastic handcuffs, the men struggle to re-restrain him and the video ends.

The video was shot by a passenger seated two seats away from the man. This passenger posted it on Live Leak yesterday, accompanied with the following message: 

Man Suffers Panic Attack On Air Canada Flight.     
This was recorded 6 December 2007 on an Air Canada flight from Toronto to London.
The following in input from the person recording:

"At 3:15 sec he says "f'in white people". I personally believe that another passenger somehow provoked or encouraged this persons paranoid behaviour.What is important is that everybody arrived safely.I am no medical doctor so I have no idea what this man was going through, but I feel that he seemed more concerned for his own safety? I think he was scared. I think it's a very fascinating phenomenon. My partner and I decided we should videotape this in the interest of sharing the experience we went through on this plane with those interested." 

What's particularly interesting is that this video exists. It is evidence as to what happened for 3:59 minutes on what must have been an incredibly arduous flight. Because of this tape's existence, it is unlikely that lawyers from CAIR, or elsewhere, will rush to the man's side to sue the airline, the flight crew, and/or the passengers — as has been done in the past — on a bogus racial profiling premise.
