Washington Post: “As airlines and airports gird for more disruption when supporters of President Trump return to Washington for protests ahead of the inauguration, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration issued a warning to air travelers: Causing a safety risk could mean a jail term or a $35,000 fine. ‘As a former airline captain, I can attest from firsthand experience that the cabin crew’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of all passengers,’ FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said in a statement. ‘I expect all passengers to follow crew member instructions, which are in place for their safety and the safety of flight.'”
“The warning followed several viral videos, including those showing Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) being heckled at airports last week, and others showing rowdy supporters of Trump aboard airliners. A major flight attendants union said every airline flying out of the Washington region had experienced incidents in recent days. The chairman of the House Transportation Committee and the head of its aviation subcommittee wrote Monday to Dickson asking him to take additional steps. The lawmakers called on him to convene airline, airport and labor leaders to develop a way to identify anyone involved in last week’s violence who might try to travel to Washington for the inauguration.”
