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.

I think you are correct for a bunch of people, throw in alcohol and anti-anxiety medication and you have a dangerous combination.

“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.”

Perhaps but some people are just natural born aholes.

I’m sure that’s true, but you throw in alcohol and narcotics, it makes A-holes insane.

Another entitled "..." who refuses to follow airline/airport protocol and thinks he should be bowed down to:

F086269-B-7125-41-EE-955-C-A34218-D91374

1-DD668-F7-E7-C3-4377-A480-ADC86-EFE0-EB6

Hope he's banned from every airline and airport in the US.

It seems the finishing school for these beasts is international. ‘They’ all act the same, say the exact same things, get stuck in the same speech loop, exact same behavior, exact same body language, both specific to the females and males. And when they are finally cuffed and stuff “I can’t breathe.” I am so glad I don’t live anywhere near them so I don’t have to call them the worst N word you can ever call them. “Neighbor.”

SEEMS LIKE A TOTALLY UNRULY HEAD OF HAIR IS THE ONLY THING A BLACK MAN CAN PRODUCE THESE DAYS-—

HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY EFFORT ON HIS PART

LOOKS BEYOND STUPID.

USED TO BE CALLED “HAIR DO’S”

I CALL ALL OF IT “HAIR DON’Ts”
