Air rage is the biggest threat to safety in the skies. The authors argue in this glimpse into the dangers caused by aberrant behavior in the skies. Indeed, "Air Rage" poses one of the most serious threats to the safety and security of the flying public today," they write. The authors list a number of causes for passenger aggression: flight delays, alcohol or drug abuse, mental illness or just plain anxiety. They're persuasive that the number of incidents are underreported, mainly because the "reporting procedures are woefully inadequate." And they highlight a number of important public health and policy issues, most notably which in the US, jurisdiction for air rage cases needs to be transferred to a criminal court.
