“I think it's a great thing. I think it will be added support for myself and fellow colleagues as well as the other law enforcement personnel that are either on or not on the aircraft. It'll just help us a bit more with keeping folks in line and getting back to keeping our skies friendly,” Flight Attendant Latifah Fields said., cases of unruly passengers skyrocketed. In 2021, there were 5,981 reports of unruly passengers of which over 70% were mask-related.
