The bill, called the Protection from Abusive Passengers Act, has bipartisan support. Under the measure, people who were fined for or convicted of “serious physical violence and abuse” while traveling by air would not be allowed to fly on commercial planes.

“Mask mandates have ended. Still, the epidemic of air rage continues and this elevated level of in-flight violence has to stop,” Reed said in a statement. “We must do more to protect employees and the traveling public.”In an advisory announcing the legislation, the lawmakers said banning people from flights would “serve as a strong deterrent.”

Travelers would be considered abusive if they have been convicted of physically or sexually assaulting a crew member on a commercial flight, or threatening to do so; causing an imminent thread to the safety of a plane or people on it; assaulting a federal or airline employee with security duties at an airport; or committing other assaults, threats or intimidation against a crew member during a flight.

Yesterday the Democratic Fascists indicted their primary political opponent, just as any 3rd world banana republic would do. Today the Democratic Fascists want to throw a guy in prison for the 'crime' of making a meme. Tomorrow the Democratic Fascists will be coming after YOU.

How about more leg room?

This is what they are spending their time on? SMH.

'Airlines can ban passengers for bad behavior even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime.' No, they can't. Common carriers have a duty to transport all passengers. Airlines are not police and judges. Her;es what's wrong with this bill:

Does it include folks who try to overthrow the government?

So long as you dont hide anything else in the bill.

Necessary legislation. It’s likely if you’re assaulting employees and other passengers, a person has done it before or at least threatened another person. There are other modes of transportation.

That hasn’t been done yet?!! Wow!

How about protecting our kids against TransTerrorism ?

Motorway road rage incidents are going to spike.

Colorado lawmakers approve expansion of red flag lawAfter shutting down Republicans’ efforts at a filibuster, the Democratically controlled Colorado House of Representatives approved a senate-passed bill that would expand the state’s red flag law. Well done Colorado Will under 21 be red flagged for handguns. You mean you silenced the GOP and pushed out a bill that only Dems supported. This bill is unconstitutional and will be shot down in the courts. Another waste of taxpayer dollars to pander. Pathetic.
