With 2016 being the most over-sensitive year on record, it’s only natural companies would go to extra lengths to protect customers from the crazies. Otherwise known as anyone with a social media account who feels victimized by society, these crazies pose a real threat to businesses. So Korean Airlines is not taking any chances. Just announced Tuesday, all of the flight crew can readily use stun guns to deal with mid-air disturbances – of any kind.
According to CNN, the on-board crew have already had tasers on hand for years but could only use them when lives or the physical safety of passengers and cabin crew was threatened. But new rules will allow for “more active use” of tasers. Passengers who cause a disturbance will be banned for an indeterminate period.
Me being the betting woman I am, I wonder how far is too far when it comes to mid-air disturbances? What if I attempt to board with the wrong zone? What if I have a sleep spasm and punch my fellow traveler in the face? What if 16 hours in a metal tube is getting to me and I just need to let out a really loud grunt? These questions might never be answered. Because I don’t know about you, but the thought of a large, angry woman tasing me senseless is enough to keep me from every having an alcoholic beverage on a flight again. .

That’s why you wear a metal mesh suit with a rubber lining under your clothes so that the taser current gets redirected back to the source, instantly incapacitating the small, frail, human before their instinctual karate skills can take over. Folks, that isn’t ignorant or racist. Everyone knows that every single Asian everywhere knows some form of karate. They are very very sneaky. Mr. Miagi proves this notion.
How do you get this through security though? Pack it in your carry-on and put it on once you’ve gone through the metal detectors?
If you have TSA PreCheck you wouldn’t even have to take it off.
Still not enough to keep me from getting sideways before a flight. Bring on the lightning. Disclaimer: writing this while halfway through my fourth Yeungling at ATL.
Yeungling? You must like peeing a bunch and not being drunk. Put beer on the sidelines and grab some vodka tonics.
Disclaimer: If by four Yeunglings you meant four withing 15 minutes, carry on.
I sit aisle seat for a reason, Bucky.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I wont be flying Korean Air anytime soon.
Was hoping tased was a typo for tasted.
Kim Jong Un not playing around.
