A traveler went berserk at Kansas City International Airport on New Year’s Eve, vowing to “slap” female Southwest Airlines workers as he screamed at staff in a caught-on-camera tirade.

The outburst unfolded around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at a Southwest Airlines counter in the unsecured area of the airport.

In a video posted on social media by X user Collin Rugg, the man can be heard boasting about his background while hurling abuse at the workers, declaring, “I’m from the UK, n—a!” as he continued threatening the women behind the counter.

He’ll probably be banned by the airlines. He’ll have a nice swim back to the UK.

As a standalone event, it's not news, but as part of the larger picture, it certainly is.

It's also the type of incident that the Propaganda Media has buried for years but no longer can due to bystanders recording it on their mobile phones and uploading the video to social media.

Kansas is one of those cities where you can get your ass kicked for behaving badly in public.

"A spokesperson for the FBI’s Kansas City office said agents and airport police “worked quickly to evaluate the situation and ensure the safety of everyone"

Oh thank goodness for our brave and courageous evaluators.

Permanent banning needs to be a thing. Not just for ONE airline for a few flights but a PERMANENT BAN of air travel on ALL US AIRLINES.

I think a lot of these types of incidents are the result of people who are afraid to fly and either drink too much or take some type of anti-anxiety medication or probably combine the two in order to control their fears and outbursts like this are the result.

Nice to see we’ve exported our ghetto culture globally.
