My biggest beefs are with the premium seats for the same reason as Donna, and the body one. When a plane is going over an ocean, there's no place to land, and the person has definitely died in that time, odds are they'll complete the flight. On the other hand, if they're on a domestic flight and an incident happens near RST, home to the Mayo Clinic, there's a good chance they'll divert.
Dishonorable mention to the handcuffs question as well. I've heard of many passengers being restrained with zip ties. Similar idea, but not technically handcuffs. And just because BA does it, doesn't mean everyone else does.
