In my day of flying I think I removed 3 passengers total and spoke to two more that understood if they could not act properly I would have them removed ( We used to leave the cockpit and handle stuff the flight attendants could not.) Later with the secure cockpit procedures a flight attendant would tell me they could not handle someone and "Boom" off they went with security. Never had a problem in flight after the secure cockpit door procedure was instituted that I can remember.
That was with over 25 years of commercial flying. I did kick a guy off in New Orleans when we had left Houston for Orlando Florida. He was a red headed druggie going to see his girlfriend in Orlando. I even met the girl friend and told her we had done her a favor by kicking him off the plane. She said she had thought he had kicked the drugs and that was why she had agreed to meet him.. Nice girl who deserved better than that POS.
