Can someone explain to me why karens/kevins are getting so stupid over face masks? I know they have been politicized because trump made it so, but this is ridiculous.

How did we get to make people wear seatbelts, wear clothing or follow traffic laws without entitled assholes who feel that rules should not apply to them going batshit crazy like this?

there was actually a pretty big backlash to seatbelt laws. there just wasn't as easy a place to bitch as there are today, so they only really ended up in local newspaper opinion pages.

This is the captain speaking. Wed like all strong males to come to the front of the aircraft to handle a problem passenger.

So sexist. What about strong females?

Pressure would prevent you from doing so.

We need Air Marshals on every plane to take down problematic passengers. Airlines should be able to afford it.

he's not wrong, seatbelts were wildly unpopular for years, it really took new generations of drivers that grew up with them for it to become strange to not want to wear them

At altitude, no. Landing and departure, maybe if you're strong enough. Used to work for the Federal Air Marshal Service [FAMS] (among other federal agencies). Only source I'm giving.

Taxpayers pay for it.

As it stands now, there are not enough for every flight (exact number is classified) and their mission is "flight deck integrity" aka protect the cockpit. FAMS will watch a full on brawl until and unless the flight itself is threatened. Breaking cover costs anonymity and can result in months of desk duty. They hate that.

The number of FAMS could get smaller, non-government stat geeks say they can come up an algorithm that can randomize deployments sufficiently that a small number of FAMS can do the job - like pre-9/11. There are Republicans in Congress who support this.

Umm, there are probably millions of people all over the world who refuse to wear their seatbelt and they violate other traffic laws constantly. Most places are pretty lax about enforcing those laws.
