Airline to use Tasers for unruly passengers

Don't tase me, bro!

Ive always been in favor of the airlines installing sleeping gas canisters which can be released into the passenger bay. First sign of chaos, the pilot gives the flight attendants a quick second to don gas masks, then...night night. Everyone wakes up an hour or two later and the perpetrator wakes to having their hands, feet, and mouth all secured with duct tape.

I would rather you let me and my fellow passengers beat the crap out of a single idiot than to put me to sleep (or worse).

To know how effective that actually is, read up about the Moscow Theatre Siege.

You'd kill people.

Nothing, if the passengers behave. The aircrew has the life of every person on that aircraft to consider. That can't be jeopardize because of one idiot.

Amazing how the left is perfectly fine with people breaking the law but don't use too much force on them! It's OK for a Michael Brown to be a thug who steals. It's OK for Michael Brown to try taking a policeman's gun away from him. It is OK for a big guy like Michael Brown to charge at a small policeman who doesn't have immediate backup.

Unruly passengers can cause airplanes to crash, killing everybody. Just imagine if the flight crews on flights 103, 175, 93 and 77 would have had tasers; September 11th would be just a day of the year.

You're going to argue with me for the sake of arguing with me on this one :shrug:

There's no way pumping a pressurized cabin full of knockout gas at 35, 000 feet is going to go over well... For anyone.

oh and by the way, you'd be hard pressed to find a single instance, of an unruly passenger on a commercial airliner causing a crash in the history of civilian aviation.
 
Isn't this logical, considering that real bullets could pierce the fuselage and cause explosive decompression?

What I'd like to know is what qualifies as an "unruly passenger"? Because tasers are mostly non lethal they tend to get overused especially in America.

On September 11, 2001, unruly passenger caused 4 airliners to crash.

Ouch as in, apdst's definition of "Unruly" doesn't really fit with "Terrorists determined to crash a plane".

Maggie, I"m going to ask you to "Think" here.

Come on, Jet. You have to admit you sorta walked into that one. ;) Credit where credit is due and all that...

Not particularly, and it ignores what we're actually arguing since now he's going to come at me over the ****ing definition of "Unruly".

He decided to interject, for the sake of it, over the idea that pumping a cabin full of sleeping gas was not a bad idea, but that WOULD kill a number of people on the plane.

the fact that you would equate terrorism with "unruly" speaks volumes :roll:

Would you agree that hijackers are, indeed, unruly passengers?

The aircrews deem unruly passengers a safety hazard to the aircraft and passengers what the hell do they know, right? They only fly airplanes for a living.

No, in that case they were murderous passengers. Calling hijackers "unruly" is like calling ISIS "a bunch of rude fellows." It's a dumb thing to say.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't deal with unruly passengers. They're saying that sleeping gas is a stupid idea in a sealed, pressurized tube full of people.

I'm a pilot, and I'm not ok with murdering my own passengers who weren't even involved with the altercation. I know, call me crazy.

"Tasers and other high-voltage stun devices can cause cardiac arrhythmia in healthy and susceptible subjects, leading to heart attack or death in minutes by ventricular fibrillation, which leads to cardiac arrest and—if not treated immediately—to sudden death."

"At least 48 people have died in the United States since January — about one death a week — in incidents in which police used Tasers, according to a Washington Post examination of police, court, and autopsy records. The link between the use of Tasers and the deaths is unclear."

To confusing!!! Korean Air adheres to multilateral air law treaties held at a Warsaw Convention ---International Law--- I'm not sure how using drastic measures like tasering to control passengers will help them. If any of my family members was tasered, I would...
