News and notes from around the interweb:
- When this Southwest Airlines passenger was called out for bad behavior in the aisle, he pulls a Will Smith at the Oscars on the man who called him out – and has to be physically restrained.
INSANE: A kid causes chaos mid-flight on Southwest, then snaps when a passenger dares to call him out.
Why is this behavior so normalized now?

Not “normalized”. An example of normalized is using your speakerphone in public, which at one point in history was strictly verboten. Now, it’s “normal”.
Until the. Issue of serious Mental Illness in this Country is addressed, these things will continue. Nobody learns boundaries or appropriate behavior anymore, society and Wackos holding Office from the Mayors to the Governors to the house dandy Senate of the United States, all look the other way and do not enforce the laws the passed. Nobody wants to see the truth so they blame inanimate objects and shake their heads. This kid obviously missed a few valuable lessons in life.
Drug laws in other countries are much stricter than in the USA.
Fighting in the aisles seems to be more of an aisle seater problem.

The chip on the credit card is what is used when you insert the card .
When you “tap” the card on the surface, that is using something (rfic) other than the chip
@LAX Tom — Yes. Seriously, some folks have no shame (get some earbuds or headphones, sheesh), or they do actually know better and are just seeking negative attention. Hmm.
@anon:
This is incorrect: “ When you “tap” the card on the surface, that is using something (rfic) other than the chip.”.
The chip in your credit card is for both tap and insert. NFC comes from the “NFC enabled” chip.
This person of course will be given probation and allowed to fly again. And will cause similar trouble. When toddlers aren’t held accountable.
@SJY5280, @anon – according to Gemini-
No, you cannot mount your EMV chip on a magic wand and use it to tap and pay. The “tap” function, which is a form of contactless payment, requires more than just the EMV chip. It also relies on an antenna built into the card, which is needed to communicate with the payment terminal. Simply removing the chip from a card and attaching it to a wand, even if you could somehow make it work physically, would not allow it to communicate with the payment terminal wirelessly.
Someone in the reddit forum suggested dissolving the credit card by submersing it for 24 hours in dichloromethane, but you’ll need a safety hood and proper PPE to do that…
‘Member when saying “no” to mom caused an adult to beat you senseless?
We need more of that.
I would have beaten the last meal out of that loser kid and dared anyone else to interfere or defend him. Too many people are “afrraid” to hit back. You can talk all the crap you want to me, but once you put your hands on me, that’s your ass.
Passengers who behave like this need to be banned by the airline. They are a safety threat.
