Passenger throws ice and grabs booty. Another satisfied customer.

Sounds to me like Jacob Kline had a nice flight on American Airlines when he travelled recently from Dallas to Charlotte. When Kline, who had been drinking rum-and-cokes on the flight, was refused a fourth drink he began to throw ice at other passengers. Kline also started moving about the cabin whistling and using profanity. After being repeatedly told to take his seat, Kline grabbed the "buttocks" of one of the flight attendants. Another passenger described only as "very large in size" helped out by sitting next to Kline and keeping him quiet. The flight crew requested an immediate landing in Charlotte where Kline was picked up by the authorities and charged with being intoxicated and disruptive in public and resisting a public officer. The worst part of this story is that Kline was travelling with his wife and two kids. I'm sure they're proud. Perhaps this is an instance where the group SAFER would be right in providing passengers pot to help calm them down.
