Do they not have drinks holders in aircraft? :you_crazy
A pilot’s spilled coffee accidentally triggered a hijacking alert and caused a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt to make an unscheduled stop in Canada. A Transport Canada report said United Flight 940 was diverted to Toronto late on Monday.
The coffee interfered with communications equipment, which sent out distress signals including code 7500, which means hijacking or unlawful interference.

I suppose they could let the pilot take amfetamine like his military counterparts, but last time Yanks did that they fired at the Canadians by mistake so it could have been even worse!
