I think a pretty clear explanation is 30% of the U.s. thinks they can do whatever they want, be racist, kill people etc because of their supreme leaders loss and while he was in power. This of course includes being disruptive on airplanes where they want to push their agenda and be anti-authority. The solution is more Air Marshals. If people knew they could be arrested instantly they might stop, instead of thinking they only have to deal with ineffective and powerless flight attendants. A permanent flying ban for anyone causing a disturbance would also act as a deterrent I would think.

Political rage over pandemic mask restrictions

Because of stories like this, I was just telling someone that I am due for a vacation but I'm hesitant to fly because I don't want to be confined among people where someone might be easily triggered by one thing or another.

It started with flight attendants attempting to enforce mask requirements. Same mentality as the storming of the Capitol.
