California passenger charged with assaulting Southwest Airlines flight attendant

But the honest thing is that even the death penalty has no, to a very little effect on people killing others. The average murder is committed by a person who is 'in the height of passion' and the last thing in their mind is the possibility of being caught and put to death.

An industrial drinker with a mad on will not be thinking about a mandatory ban on plane travel, sadly, so taunting that punishment isn't going to stop the truly enraged animals that need to act out from their inner immaturity, or 'roid rage fueled by alcohol, ego, fear, and a primal drive to be a flaming asshole bully.

The punishment has to fit the crime, and being on the 'no-fly list' fits. I just don't think it'll be much of a deterrent.

It has already happened.

Unlike state law, there is no parole when serving a federal sentence (but you may be eligible for a (max) 10% "good time" reduction, - but only after 13 months served).

There are federal air marshals, but not enough to be on every flight, and they seem to staff international flights, and trans con flights more than regional flights, understandably,

Having marshals on more flights would potentially help, but are we willing, as a public, to foot that cost? More rich folks will have to pay up more than they are doing to ensure those that don't have access to private jets, and the pristine cloudless skies of the uber out of touch, can fly without being beaten and assaulted on flights.

It's not what they charge, it's the emotional immaturity of the people, and it's the lack of self awareness of their place and position in society. They lack empathy, self awareness, and any restraint in their dealings with the world around them. They are narcissistic and very self centered. They 'feel', and that is the only thing important to them. They want, and that is the only thing important to them. They are mad/angry/selfish/egotistical and that is the only thing important to them. They strike out because they live in a world full of anger, resentment and victimization.

What they need is an education. What they need is to see the world around them, and the world outside of our borders. But event hat might not be enough, sadly.

I have lost all hope for humanity. We are being herded to a horrific future that none of us will survive.

I'd expect them to start using Ketamine. It's in vogue by big, and small police forces, and physicians are being browbeaten into cowing to the police and using it more and more. (Some states are trying to make Ketamine available directly to police officers, avoiding physicians balking at its overuse) The problem is that 'Vitamin K' also is resulting in more overdose deaths. The stunning disconnect from standard policing techniques and using a powerful drug is astounding, and should concern all of us. But 'it works', and it's cheaper than wasting time dealing with an angrier and more violent public.

I've heard that SW has been out of stock in recent months, and 500-foot rolls of shrink wrap is being considered as a temporary on-board replacement.
