A video of passengers duct taping a man to his seat on a plane after he allegedly groped female flight attendants is said to have led Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials to ask U.S. airports to monitor travelers for alcohol consumption.
FAA Administrator Steve Dickson sent a letter on Tuesday to airport managers, urging them to make sure people who are patronizing restaurants and bars ahead of flights do not drink too much.
“As the number of passengers traveling has increased, so has the number of unruly and unsafe behavior incidents on planes and in airports,” Dickson wrote in the letter. “Our investigations show that alcohol often contributes to this unsafe behavior.”
“The FAA requests that airports work with their concessionaires to help avoid this,” Dickson wrote:
Even though FAA regulations specifically prohibit the consumption of alcohol aboard an aircraft that is not served by the airline, we have received reports that some airport concessionaires have offered alcohol ‘to go,’ and passengers believe they can carry that alcohol onto their flights or they become inebriated during the boarding process.
