U.S. Attorney orders aggressive prosecutions of violent passengers
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has directed federal prosecutors across the country to ramp up prosecutions of violent airline passengers.
Garland says any criminal activity on board should be fully investigated and where appropriate, federal should be filed. The FAA has received 5,338 unruly passenger reports this year.
Garland wants a more aggressive policy in the Justice Department and a swift prosecution process
Prosecutors should focus on alleged actions that ‘endanger the safety of passengers, flight crews and flight attendants’.
