Biden says he has directed DOJ to focus on violence from unruly airline passengers

By Mychael Schnell - 10/07/21 07:13 PM EDT

President Biden on Thursday said he has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to “deal with” the spike in reports of unruly passengers on airplanes.

“Scott I want you to know I talked to the Justice Department to make sure that we deal with the violence on aircraft coming from those people who are taking issues,” Biden said, addressing United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby while delivering remarks in Illinois.

“We're going to deal with that,” he added.

The Hill reached out to the DOJ and the White House for more information.

Biden’s remarks come as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is grappling with a sharp surge in reports of unruly airline passengers, many of which have been mask-related.

According to the TSA, there have been more than 4,600 reports of unruly passengers in the past year, with 3,366 of them being related to masks.

Nearly 850 investigations have been initiated.

Completely outside federal jurisdiction.

Let the authorities handle it at either the origin or destination.

Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) penned letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Steve Dickson last month requesting that their teams do more to crack down on the reports of unruly passengers.

Specifically, they requested that more be done to criminally prosecute the disruptive travelers.

Meanwhile, Sens. Cantwell and Durbin, AG Garland, and FAA Admin Dickson continue to fly around the country in private jets, mask-free.

What a waste of Federal resources. The DOJ should be at the crosswalk of the nearby school investigating people who ignore the crossing guard. Now that is where DOJ could do some actual good!

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I thought the President dictating policy to the DOJ was bad juju under Trump.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
