Make ‘Em Walk!

Due to a huge increase in unruly passengers on commercial airline flights, Delta Airlines has asked the Justice Department to help in setting up a national “no-fly” list of such unruly passengers. Delta alone has created its own no-fly list, which now consists of 1,900 people who refused to wear masks for COVID-19 on Delta flights. Delta says its unruly passenger incidents have doubled in the past two years.

Why the recent increase? Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers! The Biden administration has mandated mask-wearing on commercial flights, and a lot of people don’t like it. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that last year, there were 5,981 reports of unruly passenger incidents, of which 4,290 of them were mask-related.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has said, “Passengers who assault, intimidate or threaten violence against flight crews and flight attendants do more than harm those employees; they prevent the performance of critical duties that help ensure safe air travel.” He therefore has told the hundreds of prosecutors in his department to prioritize investigations into such possible criminal cases onboard commercial flights.

I say create such a national no-fly list and make those perpetrators–who think they have a human right to endanger other peoples’ lives with this deadly virus–walk! What do you say?
