However, the definition of disruptive behavior can be subjective and challenging. The bill also raises questions about minor inconveniences and subjective judgments, such as a seat mate with a foul odor or a passenger arguing with flight attendants. It's a complex debate, balancing the need to protect staff and passengers from genuine threats while avoiding unfairly penalizing individuals.
