Obvious explanation would be that they changed the definition
of "dangerous behavior" / "unruly behavior" , and / or are reporting
instances of such that they previously wouldn't have reported.

The cafe lady pointed out that since the shutdown happened, people have even fewer social graces and far less regard for others. It's a good thing I was picked on in high school or else I wouldn't be able to deal with nasty people in retail.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I think this is partly because of all the excess stress and pressure caused by the COVID pandemic. Moreover, a lot of these folks probably haven't been on a plane in over a year, so they are seriously lacking in any decorum or social graces. I was talking to a lady who works in cafe at the Sam's Club I work at as a rotisserie chicken cook at and she told me that a lot of the members she deals with in her department have become increasingly rude, pushy, and downright hostile as a direct result of all the social restrictions implemented because of COVID-19. This reminds me of all the folks screaming at me at work back in November and December of 2001 due to the fact that were were furious over 9/11 and needed someone to unload on who couldn't say or do anything about it.

"This is the captain speaking. We'd like all strong males to come to the front of the aircraft to handle a problem passenger,"
FAA should recruit from here since we have some strong as apes brutes on here.
FAA needs to retroactively deputize any passengers who help subdue/kill unruly.
also grant total immunity aganist any federal lawsuits.

1. take your/any laptop and smash it on the perp's head. airline will reimburse.
2. take belts and tie the ****er so his feet touch neck. stuff socks in mouth.
3. 3-4 pens or pencils inserted into throat will work. same number of plastic forks or knives.
4. body spray or perfume into eyes.

Society is angry at the moment. People are stressed. Airports and traveling/flying usually escalates stress. Bottle all those people up in a tight space and you get an explosion.

Gotta be related to the pandemic. I’d venture to guess people “forgot” what it’s like to fly and couple that with an increase in mental illness brought on by mass layoffs and fear surrounding covid.
Stop.

It can be a real jungle at airports filled with North Americans some days
Heightened tensions, delays or cancelations and just basic decency not being utilised are probably factors for the increase in incidences.
And polarity in political leanings, that's bound to be a component for some.
Ding Dong
!

Where are the air marshals to help out the situation when this **** goes on?
I still think they are more myth than reality because I never see or hear of them stepping in and taking any action.

You're welcome.

Thanks.
Being trapped on a plane and getting violent or even loud is an invitation to get arrested. An arrest can ruin your life, so you have to be extremely delusional about your goals to let that happen.
Probably 100% of people on planes are going to have money, jobs, and so on. They aren't random types of people. So, something psychological is going on that fits the situation.

Well said TA, and
completely true!

Many people would absolutely hate me.
I'd be better behind the scenes.

You should run for office, Adlerian. You and ffs would be your running mate.
Stop.

During the pandemic and George Floyd situation, I noticed that people seem to no longer know simple things. However, they will defend their own ignorance in a diehard manner.
For instance, in spite of countless crime shows, people don't know what murder is. They do not know what a mask is and why they are different. If you tell them, they will get angry and not care. People thought the president was a "fascist" and can take over the government, and they don't know what any of that means. People talk about communism, and they don't know what that means, etc.
All of that is an increase in narcissism. That's where you think you are more important than you are and act entitled. The advanced narcissism I am seeing includes not even bothering to try to inform yourself even though the internet exists. So, you really could be a junior expert on many topics, but you are so sure of yourself, you don't care.
An example of that type of person is a "Karen" in slang or a "douchebag". However, as I've been saying, it's getting to the point where these people are super uneducated and delusional.
The airline thing is all about that.
If you are on a plane, you have some money. So, you have that as a setup for narcissism already. Then, we all ought to know by this point that plane violence and disruption carries significant legal penalty. So, the narcissism takes over and makes the person feel above that and launches them into a delusional state where they don't consider the consequences.
Bottom line, people are becoming more and more uneducated/stupid due to a culture of stupidity fostered by various forces.

Masks are aggravating and so are the people who try to impose them on everyone. I can see how this would lead to fights on planes. Especially now that it's one of the only places masks are still required and there are vaccines now so people should stop caring if someone isn't wearing a mask.

The
Covid Lockdowns
when many people believed that they were unnecessary and/or bullshit.
Duh.
