I think there some other good ones, too. Bringing back the use of these antiquated devices as punishment might cause others to think of what they were anticipating before bring ing public shaming on themselves, especially if this punishment were to be extended to several days depending on the seriousness of the crime. Yeah, I know....they’d all get lawyers who would declare it cruel & unusual punishment. Maybe so, but if it does the job then perhaps the lawyers should afforded some of the same. Many people in this country are sick & tired of having to put up with this type of behavior time after time because of inadequate punishment.

Re-regulate the airlines.
Manage competition and routes to create airline tiers.
Ensure reasonable profitability.
Mandate standards of carriage and customer experience.
Set and enforce dress codes and conduct for passengers.
Raise ticket prices.
Drive ratchets back to buses.
Bring back pretty stewardesses and dump the frumpy and light in the loafers.

That only works when people have a conscience.
