【正文】 rage is the current expression for aggressive or disruptive behavior of airline passengers. It es from the term road rage, used to describe drivers whose rude and hostile attitude toward others can lead to serious accidents or violence.Major airlines are being increasingly concerned about air rage and are training their staff to deal with it. At the same time, they are introducing tougher policies and supporting legislation that will allow local police to arrest offenders when they land. A special agreement, known as the 1963 Tokyo Convention, allows for the arrest of troublesome passengers on landing, even if they are not citizens of that country and did not technically mit a crime there.The problem of air rage may start before passengers even board the plane and may bee worse on board. Reasons for air rage include heavy traffic on the way to the airport, long checkin lines, the amount of alcohol available both in the waiting area and given out free on board the plane, and strict enforcement of nosmoking laws at the airport and on the flight itself.Airline staff are trained to spot a potential troublemaker and to deal with violent behavior by talking to the person. For more serious cases, handcuffs and straitjackets are kept on board, although these are used only as a last resort. Fortunately, incidents involving serious violence are rare, but air rage is increasingly being an issue of concern for all airlines.
