WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 U.S. Senate and House members proposed a new no-fly list for unruly passengers on Wednesday, an idea that was pushed by airline unions but failed to gain traction last year.<\/p>\n

The legislation would let the Transportation Security Administration ban people convicted or fined for assaulting or interfering with airline crew members.<\/p>\n

It would be separate from the current FBI-run no-fly list, which is intended to prevent people suspected of terrorism ties from boarding planes.<\/p>\n

The number of incidents involving unruly passengers<\/a> dropped sharply last year after a judge struck down a federal requirement to wear masks on planes. However, incidents serious enough to be investigated by federal officials remained more than five times higher than before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe violent incidents have not stopped,\u201d Cher Taylor, a Frontier Airlines flight attendant who said she witnessed a passenger attack another in 2021 in Miami and walk away before police arrived, said during a news<\/a> conference outside the Capitol. \u201cStrong penalties are needed to curb violent and unacceptable behavior. Bad behavior should not fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Civil libertarians vowed to oppose the measure. They say the FBI no-fly list is not transparent and unfairly targets people of color, and the new list would have the same problems. They also say that the Federal Aviation is cracking down on bad behavior, and that reports of unruly passengers are declining.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Congress wants to further reduce air-rage incidents on aircraft, it should look at forcing the airlines to make flying a less miserable experience,\u201d said Jay Stanley, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union.<\/p>\n

The new measure was introduced by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn.<\/p>\n

Similar legislation failed to get a hearing in Congress last year. Supporters hope their chances have improved because of high-profile incidents like that involving a passenger who stabbed at a flight attendant<\/a> with a broken-off spoon this month.<\/p>\n

Individual airlines maintain lists of passengers they have banned but resist sharing names with other airlines, partly out of fear they could violate laws against cooperation among competing carriers.<\/p>\n
