Default Passenger arrested for not turning off his laptop

I think this was a stupid response. Why did they force passengers to
wiat for the "Australian counter terrorist first response force" to

Likely standard policy, if for no other reason then apprehending him
during general deplaning would be far more difficult.

What are you going to do, ask him to wait in his seat? That didn't work
very well when asking him to turn off his laptop.
