Gimme a break man. From their perspective, all they knew is that there
appeared to be an imminent threat. What possible good would have come
from just standing around in the capitol building waiting to be
possibly obliterated. It's not like they could have fought back.

Wherever they ran (like headless chickens) they would have been possibly
obliterated.

If the offending aircraft had a Davy Crockett round in the luggage area,
it wouldn't have made any difference whether they stayed where they were
or ran around like headless chickens. It would have been better if they
had stayed where they are and saved the energy, instead of demonstrating
to potential terrorists how easily they can be terrorized.
