A bipartisan bill is working its way through Congress that would further ratchet-up the consequences for committing air rage.
It is not often one can celebrate the work of lawmakers.
Yet, in this case, and after nearly a quarter of century of advocacy, I feel that the problem which was spelled out in my 2001 book on air rage is moving toward a significant reduction.
