How unruly is a passenger that isn't charged with anything? These days if I am going anywhere under about 700 miles (Minneapolis to Detroit or Minneapolis to St. Louis) I drive. I 'spect most people make a judgement as to threshhold for themselves. Likely within about 12 months, the taxpayers that no longer can stand flying will be asked to subsidize the airlines...all so we can "fairly" treat ALL passenegers as dirt.
As that Israeli security guy that shot that terrorist in LA a month or so ago said: (paraphrase) The US doesn't know anything about airline security. All they know how to do is annoy people.
"These days if I am going anywhere under about 700 miles (Minneapolis to Detroit or Minneapolis to St. Louis) I drive." That's now the "break-even distance" at which flying is faster - if nothing unusual happens.
The amazing thing is that Americans still pay hundreds of dollars to be treated worse than inmates!
