We've come full circle.
Prior to 9/11, when air rage dominated news coverage about air travel, cockpit intrusions were terribly frequent.
In my book on the subject, published in September 2001, 36 cockpit intrusions were detailed in the 24 months leading up to 9/11.
They went away for a long while and now appear to be coming back.

Commercial aviation has been, and will always remain, the premiere target for terrorists.
The U.S. decision to consider banning laptops from all flights now departing Europe is a reflection of the continuous cat-and-mouse game that is aviation security.
As context, the first bombing of a commercial airliner occurred in 1933, when an IED brought down a United Airlines flight over Chesterton, Indiana, killing everyone on-board.
The next successful attack against commercial aviation is inevitable. It is only the "when" that is missing...

Although not as good as other previous brawls, this is pretty good as one guy got his licks in before being pulled off.

Two dudes throwing haymakers is the latest in a string of air rage incidents over the past few weeks. This one occurred over the Pacific on an Air Nippon flight.
This one really had passengers and flight crew nervous. Check out the video here.
