Reports of verbal abuse, non-compliance with the federal mask mandates, and assault from airline passengers are on the rise.
Since the beginning of the year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recorded 3,000 reports of unruly passengers.
Outstanding work, folks! Especially because
Most of the cases are related to passengers’ refusal to wear masks on board, which the Biden Administration mandated earlier this year.
So Our Rulers have only themselves to blame. But of course they won’t: instead, they’ll pretend that we’re at fault. And so “[a] democratic senator from Rhode Island has plans to introduce legislation ‘that would cover abusive passenger behavior on board flights’ and against TSA officers” while “[o]ne airline union leader says a TSA self-defense course for flight attendants should be part of their mandatory training.”
Were that “union leader” truly interested in his members’ welfare, he’d tell his political cronies to repeal their absurd “mandate.” Anybody care to take that bet?
Kudos to each of you who has meted out to the airlines and the TSA a bit of the torment they routinely hand us. But my best advice to all passengers remains, “Don’t fly.”
