TSA issues warning amid rise in unruly passengers


(WXYZ) — The Transportation Security Administration says they are dealing with a rise in unruly passengers as more people resume traveling amid the falling COVID-19 numbers.

In a press release addressing the rising number of unruly passengers, the TSA cites two separate incidents this month, one in Louisville and the other in Denver. In the Louisville incident, a passenger allegedly assaulted two TSA officials while attempting to breach the exit lane. In the Denver incident, a passenger allegedly bit two TSA agents.

The suspect in the Louisville incident is facing criminal charges. The Denver incident is still under investigation. The suspects in both incidents are facing potential civil penalties of up to $13,910 for each violation of TSA security requirements.

In the wake of these incidents, the TSA is reminding passengers that they will not tolerate such behavior and will pursue criminal charges and civil penalties if they occur. ..........(more)

I heard that one of the unruly passengers was, in fact, an off duty flight attendant himself 🤔

Knocking someone's teeth out would be cruel and violent.
So I would recommend surgical removal under anesthetic.
(Yes, I'm kidding. No halfway-decent doctor would perform such an operation.)
