For more than a decade, the debate on the issue of teacher arming has been fierce-what is the best way to ensure the safety of American schools?
The controversy continues, but what about another fragile social space-the cabin of a commercial aircraft?
Measures have been taken to prevent passengers from boarding the plane with knives or guns, but madness is a weapon in itself.
As we all know, at an altitude of 40,000 feet, there is sometimes a high degree of anxiety.
In addition to hiring an air marshal, what else can the staff in the air traffic control do to maintain a friendly sky?
We have seen an astonishing increase in stormy behavior: according to Federal Aviation AdministrationSince January 1, there have been more than 3,500 reports of unruly passengers.
As conveyed New York Post, This Traffic Safety Administration This year, “the average number of’flight interference’ for every 1 million passengers screened is 12 times.”
Such incidents have Soaring 500%.
In my opinion, this makes sense: if the world goes crazy on the ground, why is the situation different?
Many aerial problems are related to refusing to wear masks, but I believe the last year is usually full of pressure.
To clean up people like sardines, that kind of depressed mood is bound to explode.

Obviously, uninhibited air is nothing new:

However, in this turbulent era, how can we better equip aircraft personnel?
This TSA has an idea: It restarted the self-defense course Flight attendant.
From postal:
The Federal Air Force Marshal’s Service teaches this one-day course suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, instructing flight attendants on how to use combat mannequins for boxing and even poking.
A sort of video Part of the training-including a practice dummy that looks very mean-captured the coach’s charge, “You may die. You need to protect yourself at all costs.”
“Unfortunately, it needs to happen,” a flight attendant said in the clip.
As for this need, every CBS Miami“Federal documents detail how passengers have reprimanded, caught, and beat up flight attendants thousands of times since the zero-tolerance policy was implemented earlier this year.”
You may remember this:

Noel Curtin — Assistant Director of the Air Marshal at the TSA Miami Field Office — points out CBS, “There is no backup at 30,000 feet. So that plane is in the air and it has a crew member who must deal with [problems], We are responsible for ensuring that they are fully equipped. “
Flight attendants must worry about fighting with passengers as if they are in an octagonal shape, which of course is bad.
However, in my opinion, safety is better than regret-it is a good idea to have a self-defense course for the crew.
Perhaps through training, inflammatory incidents can be handled more appropriately, not only to the benefit of other passengers, but also to the person who caused the commotion.
This is a fallen world, so 100 pounds. The lady pushing the beverage cart may also know how to hit with the palm of the hand in a pinch—just as a last resort.
However, there are currently very few recipients: since the course was reopened in June, only a few hundred people have signed up.
Hope that more people will join.
Of course, what is more hopeful is that you will never need the ninja-like responsiveness honed by those flight attendants in suits and flight attendants.
