Amid a rising number of so-called 'air rage' incidents, Rep. Eric Swalwell joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill introducing legislation that would forbid air passengers convicted of unruly behavior from flying.

WASHINGTON – Amid a rising number of so-called"air rage" incidents, Rep. Eric Swalwell joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill introducing legislation that would forbid air passengers convicted of unruly behavior from flying.

Under the proposal, the Transportation Security Administration would establish a program that would ban passengers who are fined or convicted of unruly behavior against flight crews or other passengers. Offenses that could lead a flyer to end up on the list include physical or sexual assault, making violent threats, engaging in actions that pose"an imminent threat to the safety of the aircraft" or tampering with security systems, measures or procedures.

Reed said,"Mask mandates have ended. Still, the epidemic of air rage continues and this elevated level of in-flight violence has to stop. We must do more to protect employees and the travelling public." 1,099 unruly passenger incidents. While the mask mandate on airplanes ended last April, the agency investigated 831 incidents in 2022.The measure faces opposition from civil libertarians, pointing to the FBI's no-fly list targeting people suspected of terrorism, saying that list is not transparent and unfairly targets people of color.
