There has been an increasing crackdown on passengers involved in various airline incidents in recent days, where passengers have allegedly interrupted flights with their actions and the FAA now says that they are looking to give fines for such actions up to $35k.

The disruptive behavior that some passengers have engaged in has allegedly been politically motivated, and many are expecting that from now until next week there might be a growing number of incidents as people look to travel for the biden inauguration.

The TSA has already suggested that they might look to add capitol rioters to the no-fly list. Those individuals might also have issues with Amtrak as well. And they might also have issue securing an Airbnb listing just the same.

The FAA has warned that for anyone that might cause an issue on a flight that this could mean thousands in fines for them and potential jail time as well. There are several passengers who have been banned already.

Passengers are expected to follow crew instructions and if they are going to be starting a fight with those crew members and arguing against the rules then that is going to be a quick way to receive a one-way ticket to get kicked off the flight. They've expressed a no-tolerance approach that will be enforced, as the actions of those unruly passengers ultimately threaten the safety of the crew and every individual onboard.

Americans are being urged not to travel in the coming days for the inauguration and to stay home to avoid getting caught up in any chaos.

The FBI is already tracking online chatter regarding protests and there will be 25k National Guard service members in Washington as well. Thousands of police officers from around the country are also going to be shipped in to help with the security needs in Washington.
