Most of this behavior involves people who refuse to wear masks:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has decided that it’s had enough of unruly passengers on airlines. The agency has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to step in and handle 37 of the most serious unruly passenger cases it has had to deal with in recent months. The action is part of a new information-sharing protocol that the two agencies will use to review and prosecute incidents more quickly.

Even though the FAA saw a reduction in the number of instances after it launched its Zero Tolerance campaign and fined hundreds of passengers for acting up on flights, it still feels even a single incident is one too many.

In addition to getting the FBI involved, the agency said it no longer will address unruly passenger cases with warnings or counseling. Instead, it will turn up the heat by “pursuing legal enforcement action against any passenger who assaults, threatens, intimidates, or interferes with airline crew members.”
