12. I've flown over 1.5M miles over the past 40 years.

Not that I;m counting, and it's less that some and more than many.

I can't recall one instance of unruly behaviour that resulted in an arrest upon landing.

That said, there were a few instances where I wish there was.

Perhaps it's because most of my travel was international.

When I reflect on the current situation, I consider the the prior 4 years of jining up the Magats, combined with the past year of lockdowns, masks, physical distancing (I hate the term 'social distancing') along with general population depression to be a perfect storm for anti-social behaviour.

In other words, We just put the Hulk inside a submarine.

Lifetime bans on all air travel should be penalty. Stores should get permanent restraining orders. TheBlackAdder May 2021 #1
I'm sure some of these are drunk people; but I'm guessing most of these 1,300 are maskholes. LonePirate May 2021 #2
