FAA To Ban Alcohol At Airports?

Don't feel like reading? A Podcast version of this article will be released soon.

Everyone has heard stories of drunk disruptive passengers on flights. Over the past few years, the trend of alcohol-related incidents has been increasing. In order to fix this, an FAA administrator wants all airports to stop selling alcohol "to-go", which means that those passengers in the transit area may not be able to purchase alcohol from a duty-free shop and drink them in-flight.

Onboard flights, Cabin Crew can help the passengers control the amount of alcohol they consume. However, if a passenger purchases alcohol before boarding, they can drink as much as they want without the Cabin Crew knowing.

Earlier this year, a passenger on a United Airlines flight, attacked a Cabin Crew member. They were fined over $50,000! Lots of incidents like these have been increasing in popularity throughout the past years, with most of them portrayed by passengers under alcohol influence.

Do you agree with this new restriction?
