TSF, I'll bet everyone on the plane was really happy with that kid. I know you can't hit children without being accused of abuse, so I would have slapped his Mom and Dad and "accidentally" hit him on the backhand swing. <g>

CNN reports the kid was mentally challenged.

This is getting ridiculous can't the stewerdess explain it to the captain via intercom?

P.S. The luggage checks at the airport are not going to accomplish a whole lot, and metal detecting old ladies at the security checkpoint isn't going to help either. They need to put more emphasis on scrutinizing the passengers.

A good place to start is identifying people with expired visas who are still in the country and attempting to fly.

More NUTZOID over-reaction to everything but what makes sense.

14 year old kid.
Any respectable attendant would just tell the kid to go back to his seat and that would be that.
