I think any passenger who starts a fight on an airplane

[raccoon]

Should be placed on the no-fly list forever and ever amen. I can’t understand why the Department of Transportation isn’t doing that.

These morans (sic) are a clear and present danger to EVERYONE on the plane, as sure as any of the 9/11 hijackers were.

[634-5789]

1. It will escalate, count on that.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. My BIL left a trade conference and coworker placed a finger nail clipper in his laptop case.

.

He was flagged in security and for 5 years had to undergo elevated searches before each flight.

He was flying nearly every week or two and had to account for an extra 20 minutes in TSA.

.

[NewHendoLib]

2. Totally agree. not doing so rewards the behavior.

Seeing that lots in recent years...no one paying for huge crimes.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Throw them out?

[Effete Snob]

7. After a fair trial onboard.

[Takket]

4. i am doumbfounded by this as well.........

i always assumed interfering with a flight and it's crew was an automatic ticket to the no fly list. especially since the strengthening of security after 9/11. i cannot believe you can interfere with a flight and still be allowed to fly.

[Rebl2]

30. Same here

Thought it landed you in jail or no fly list

[ProfessorGAC]

5. There's Already A Law

It can be a FELONY to disrupt flight operations, and it definitely is one if a crew member is assaulted.
It's no-fly plus prosecution, IMO. And, the no-fly sticks no matter the trial outcome.

[Effete Snob]

6. And anybody who shoots the video in vertical format...

…instead of landscape mode, should get six months in prison.

[mikeysnot]

9. Death to vertical filming.

How this became a thing…

[Timewas]

12. yes n/t

[piddyprints]

19. I'm with you on that!

Keith Olbermann looks like he’s been stuffed in a closet. I can’t watch anymore. And the fuzzy “filler” on each side is very distracting. Whose brain fart was that, anyway?

[Ms. Toad]

20. I'd punish the (moving) blurry borders around the vertical video, not the video itself.

The video is annoying but harmless.

The moving blurry border frame triggers vertigo. As do those obnoxious moving pictures on facebook, or advertising videos on gas station pumps.

This former vertigo sufferer says 6 months is not enough time in prison.

[Effete Snob]

25. Those gas pumps are tough for schizophrenics

Building a world where inanimate objects start talking to people is not a good idea. It freaks me out when I’m pumping gas and the pump starts up with “Hey, do you want a cup of coffee?” or some other nonsense.

[Ms. Toad]

26. I guess I'm not sure that's much different than a lot of other inanimate objects

that talk to people. But I'm not schizophrenic, so can't speak directly to it.

My vertigo is mostly gone - but still occasionally gets triggered.

Speedway is the worst. Most stop the moving pictures when you are required to interact with the screen. Speedway doesn't. I often have to grab whatever papers I have in the car to use block most of the screen just to be abe to press the correct buttons without ending up on the ground. I can usualy avert my gaze quickly enough for the stupid videos and moving pictures.

But every time a new variation comes up I have to figure out how to quickly recognize and scroll past it.

[Effete Snob]

27. Wow

[Captain Zero]

28. Just say no to talking gas station pumps.

I try to pick stations that don't have them.

[Effete Snob]

32. Yup

There’s one station nearby which I dread, because it just creeps me out.

Reminds me of my old office job where I had to go up 24 floors. One day they installed screens in them and I couldn’t imagine why. Showing captive people commercials should also be a felony.

[Tetrachloride]

8. Some airlines and their pilots have not laid down the law.

It appears than US based airlines have more incidents than other airlines.

[SergeStorms]

29. A few lawsuits would probably fix that.

Passengers should start suing the airlines for not taking a tougher stand with these animals.

If there's ever a repeat offender who wasn't punished the first time, the passengers could end up owning that airline.

[Joinfortmill]

10. Yup with a big fat fine.

[JI7]

11. 15 years at least but yes forever is preferable.

[OMGWTF]

13. I would like to see proof of vaccination or a recent negative covid test to get on a plane.

[ShazzieB]

21. Amen to this!

[BidenRocks]

14. They scream about THEIR freedom,

Meanwhile my desire to have a glass of wine and a nap is infringed.
Freedom is NOT one way!
Ten years in prison. Nip this (too late) in the bud!

[AllaN01Bear]

15. there are rules .

https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/interfering-with-a-flight-attendant-or-crewmember.htm if enforced or not , up to the capatin.

[mahina]

17. That's useful info.

I sure hope these cases are going forward

[DanieRains]

16. Flying Is A Privilege

Should be just like driving but worse.

If you can't behave drive.

[Xolodno]

18. If they are white...

...they don't think the law applies to them.

[ShazzieB]

23. I haven't been on a plane since 1992, and I would be scared to death to get on one now.

I was already extremely leery about the post-9/11 security rules (searches, what you can bring on board, etc.), and the way the seats have gotten tinier and tinier. All the recent horror stories about maskholes have just about pushed me over the edge into being terrified of the whole thing.

I'm not saying I absolutely wouldn't fly if the opportunity presented itself, but if it happens, I'll be a nervous wreck. The irony is, I'm not afraid of flying, per se, just all the stuff that seems to go along with it these days.

[Tetrachloride]

31. The searches are something I am glad of. Virus is the core issue.

I also was 22 years since I last flew.

Just clothes, phone , phone charger , a paper back book, a mini bottle of soapy water and travel documents packet are what i have in carry on.

Nothing dramatic and security agents get me thru pretty quick.

[oldsoftie]

33. The assholes get news but are still rare. I fly 6 times a year & never seen one

Now 6 times a year is NOTHING compared to many, but I'm just saying you'd have no reason to be a nervous wreck. Fly out of a small airport & security is only minutes.
There are THOUSANDS of flights every day.
And yes, each of these idiots should be banned, fined and maybe even jailed

[keithbvadu2]

24. And bill them for any extra expenses such as returning to the gate, delays, diverting a flight, sky

And bill them for any extra expenses such as returning to the gate, delays, diverting a flight, sky marshall wages, police wages/expenses... even expenses for the other passengers being delayed.

[oldsoftie]

34. Now THAT would be a helluva bill! Good idea.
