How would they know someone was violent until they were?

Obviously that’s impossible to know. But that’s the same for every first time criminal. At least you can prevent future incidents with that person and it could deter some of these people if they know they’ll have consequences.

If a passenger has been shown to be violent and taken into custody, then there should be some sort of digital record system that has their names and indicate they're now banned from flying.
It will not be an easy system to create and errors will be made IF it's ever created.

They already do that. Unruly passengers can and are put on a no-fly list (as they should be). But generally speaking, people with a "history" of violence are not and I'm not sure how that would work? Should everyone who has an indictment for violent crime be put on the "no fly" list? Perhaps. What about those who have served time? I don't think so. Should we have red flag laws for public transportation? And why just flights and not trains and buses?AZOldCoot wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:52 pm If a passenger has been shown to be violent and taken into custody, then there should be some sort of digital record system that has their names and indicate they're now banned from flying.

I meant that this man should be banned from all airlines not just AA.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:13 pmHow would they know someone was violent until they were?

As for trains and buses, it would be ideal but again, possibly tricky to create.

AA is free to share their unruly passenger no-fly list with other airlines. I'm a little hesitant of FAA unilaterally issuing no-fly status to individuals who are not terrorists. I guess this is one of the very rare instances where I disagree with Democrats and agree with Republicans?Lexy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 8:20 pmI meant that this man should be banned from all airlines not just AA.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:13 pmHow would they know someone was violent until they were?
