Well, he did blackmail a friend and hijack a passenger plane this chapter...
I think the point Jason is making, though, is that the agents and air marshalls and whatnot that he deals with in this chapter aren't the ones who asked for any of this either. They're just people doing their jobs. If Dancer was in his place, she would probably talk to the guys back in coach who were ordered to make sure she made her flight, and sympathize that they had to fly halfway across the world and miss their daughter's dance recital in order to watch over her extradition, while Black just goes out of his way to be obnoxious to them. Of course, Dancer's a special case, but still.
