She is 'solving' a non-issue.

200,000,000 + air passengers per year
     2,000 alcohol related incidents

What's the problem?

Agree with the Nazi part

At least she applies the same illogic evenly.  Guns are used in crimes, take away the guns, no more crime, just ignore the human element.

Alcohol was consumed before most incidents of air rage, take away the alcohol, no more problem, just ignore the human element.

If she really wants to end air rage, just deny the passengers air.  Breathing air is a factor in 100% of air rage cases.

This is a bad idea!!

you want air rage?

You tell a guy 6'1" 220 lb guy 2 is the limit on his 5 hr flight while he is siting in the middle seat of coach class.

That will cause issues.  

I tended bar for  3 years...nice bar, not some stank club.  You will never see a more beligerent drinker than the one who you cut off for NO Reason other than to" keep him under control."  Those that are drunk you can generally reason with.  Go Figure

This is one of those laws that will create criminals, not protect anyone.

For every perceived problem about which Feinstein has anything to say, she proffers a "solution" that invariably involves the government taking choices away from people.  The only way she sees to "protect" people from themselves is to take away more freedom.

It's ALREADY against FAA regulations for a flight attendant to serve an alcoholic beverage to a person who apears to be intoxicated.  A person's ability to handle alcohol is generally correlated with body weight.  Men can generally handle more than women (weight being equal).  Some individuals can gulp down six drinks in quick succession and remain civil; a few can't handle even one.  A typical liberal One Size Fits None solution for a problem that wouldn't even exist if people obeyed existing rules and regulations.

I've spent enough nonproductive time in airports and on planes to know that sometimes getting a little inebriated is one of the best things a passenger can do.  And it's a matter of FREEDOM above all else.

I hope more Democrats jump ship because of this one.

While both Fineswine and Boxer are annoying yenta bitches, at least Boxer looks like she might be able to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. She is, therefore, not without some redeeming social value.

She's been jacked since she practically gave the Night Stalker a bus ticket out of town, when she was the San Francisco Mayor.  Here in Kali, no one will ever learn their lesson.  She ALWAYS gets voted back in.  It's too bad ol Richie decided to return the favor, and not pay to old hag a visit.

LOL! My black friend e-mailed me that article and said the exact same thing about her. How ironic. Besides, most women out there are fascists if you think about it. They want to control every aspect of your behviour and life, but they still want you to work in order to pay for their expenses. [}:D]

You know what?  

Feinstein [i]is[/i] a bitch.  She IS a commie.  [i]But[/i], she is busting her ass more than any other Senator in D.C.  

She is always constantly making up fake issues.  She is always making up ridiculous socialist bills.  [i]But[/i]....she is working non-stop to take away your rights.  If only the good congressmen worked just as hard.
