Flight Attendants Allowed to Slap Sex Pests
dailynews.yahoo.com
ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) - Swissair flight attendants will be allowed
to slap sex pests and can retaliate against other unruly passengers by tying them up in their seats.

``We do not recommend it, but we accept it if our staff reacts when
assaulted and will defend our staff in court,'' Swissair spokesman Erwin
Schaerer said on Thursday.

From Jan. 1, Swissair planes will be equipped with a kind of plastic handcuffs that can be used on unruly passengers.

The number of instances of aggressive or unruly travelers rose to 502
cases in 1999 from 286 cases in 1996 while the total number of Swissair
passengers rose to 14 million from 9 million.


The spokesman said that about one-third of these incidents were related
to alcohol consumption and another third to the ban on smoking on board.
Sexual assaults and cases of ``air rage'' that force jets to make unscheduled
stops were very rare.
