Yesterday, in the Sea-Tac airport, I saw a high school aged girl wearing a tee shirt that said "It's called the China Virus because it came from China".

Wow...

To counter that, I saw a ~13 year old girl at the pool wearing an “I ❤️ HOT MOMS” tshirt.

Back in the 80s you saw a lot of them, there!

ETA: back then if you rented a car at dtw, they’d always give you an American-made model. Nowadays, it’s just as likely to be of an Asian company.

(I’ve rented many cars at dtw.)

I’m pretty sure the team of lawyers for the airline would frown on its employees taping a passenger to a seat.
Clear the area of things you may have taken out, store any belongings under the seat in front of you, free any imprisoned passengers behind you, and buckle your seat belt as we prepare for landing.

From what I read, they didn't follow the policy. I'm sure there is a protocol. The only issue I had was putting tape over his mouth. As a passenger on the plane, I'd be thrilled with the move, but it just felt wrong watching it.

I kinda loved it. Very clearly an above consequences type of guy facing very humiliating and public consequences. Just a different version of the dudes who throws the “hold up” hands right before being deservingly knocked out.

I mean, strapping a toddler into his seat when he's throwing a temper tantrum seems like the right thing to do.

And I asked my cousin, who's a pilot, and the instructions are "take appropriate actions." Not exactly clear there.

Dude groped 2 flight attendants and started swinging. Like, the fuck are you supposed to do in the air when shit like this is going down? Put the child in time out?

Its also kinda a micro version of how we put people into locked little rooms in locked larger buildings when they do something wrong in our normal America, except here it actually was 100% necessary to protect the remaining members of the little plane society. Anyone complaining that he was treated unfairly or was unduly punished is really just selling out that they're the type who would excuse someone of his pedigree did if it were in a bar or in a dorm room too.

I have absolutely zero patience for any bullshit on a plane. Like, give the flight attendants tazers, and if you get up when the seat belt light is on. Fuckyou.

I just got off the phone with my wife, who flew to St. Louis today for a family reunion. (She didn't want to go but felt obligated, so she double-masked in both the airports and on her flights.) She said that a young woman who looked to be about college-age was on her flight and acting pretty irresponsibly. Didn't wear a mask in the boarding area until a gate agent admonished her, and then on the flight, (she was in the same row as my wife, but on the other side of the aisle), she pulled her mask down most of the time. My wife said she was hoping to see her get reprimanded by the flight attendant, but the woman noticeably turned her head to the window when she saw a flight attendant coming down the aisle.
