22. And that helps to explain why some airlines are taking a bit of a shortcut...

... and enacting their own policies that allow them to ban passengers within the realm of that which they have control. Namely, their own airline (and feeder airlines). It's imperfect and the banned passenger can certainly fly on another airline, but I imagine that being banned from ONE airline can have a humbling effect on some individuals (especially if they don't want to risk being banned for life on another airline).

The "OMG, do something right fucking now" is certainly an understandable emotion, but along with that are frequent insinuations (here and elsewhere) that our leadership, cabinet, and agency heads are twiddling their thumbs and gazing at their navels... either frightened or incompetent... well, it's just too much. Sigh.
