Make some smart-ass PA after the landing. Here's an example going into say Columbus, Ohio. "Excuse me folks, I know our landing might have been a little hard, but like your Buckeyes, we'll take a touchdown anyway we can get one even if it is a little ugly."

Sorry about the landing, I'll tell him not to do that again.

Just keep the bullet proof door locked until they are all gone.

I always just told them the truth, "I have a few thousand landings, they aren't all great. Can't win 'em all."

Now I never see them, by the time we are done in the cockpit the upper deck is cleared out.

"I'm used to landing on boats"

they don't know that I've never landed on a boat and instantly think I'm as good a pilot at Tom Cruise.
