It highlights the sharp rise in unruly and disruptive incidents on flights as 2019, frequently enough linked to passengers drinking excessively before boarding. The DOT has released an ad contrasting the polite &#8220;golden age&#8221; of air travel with the recent increase in disrespectful and aggressive behavior toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-times-the-media-buried-stories-that-couldve-brought-down-prominent-liberals\/\" title=\"3 Times The Media Buried Stories That Could\u2019ve Brought Down Prominent Liberals\">flight attendants<\/a> and fellow travelers. Secretary Duffy calls for a return to manners, respect, and accountability on flights. The author supports this move, noting that shame can be a useful tool to combat the decline in travel etiquette and help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-short-history-of-joes-long-record-of-lying-about-biden-inc\/\" title=\"Joe has a long history of lying about Biden Inc\">bring decorum back<\/a> to the skies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecDuffy\/status\/1991129339291713790\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Transportation Department\/X<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/11\/20\/trumps-transportation-department-necessarily-brings-back-shaming-thank-god\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Trump%E2%80%99s%20Transportation%20Department%20Necessarily%20Brings%20Back%20Shaming,%20Thank%20God&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/11\/20\/trumps-transportation-department-necessarily-brings-back-shaming-thank-god\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Trump%E2%80%99s%20Transportation%20Department%20Necessarily%20Brings%20Back%20Shaming,%20Thank%20God&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/11\/20\/trumps-transportation-department-necessarily-brings-back-shaming-thank-god\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/11\/20\/trumps-transportation-department-necessarily-brings-back-shaming-thank-god\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Trump%E2%80%99s%20Transportation%20Department%20Necessarily%20Brings%20Back%20Shaming,%20Thank%20God&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/11\/20\/trumps-transportation-department-necessarily-brings-back-shaming-thank-god\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The Trump administration&rsquo;s Department of Transportation has brought back shaming, and anyone who flies even just once per year should fully support it.<\/p>\n<p>Back in December 2021, aboard American Airlines to Canc&uacute;n for a Christmas-time family vacation, I asked the flight attendant if the airline had started serving alcohol again. &ldquo;No,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;not until the passengers start acting right.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1237486208\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I felt so bad for the dude.
