Your quite right people do have rights and one of those rights is not to have a drunken woman roaming up and down the aisle demanding more wine and random sex wherever available. Insulting behaviour as well. The airline should have landed at the nearest airport had her offloaded, cancelled her air ticket and told her to make her own way home. They should then...

You could finish the "..." then you'd see that I was trying to get TTT to understand how people would be in a position where they felt all they could do was sell drugs and that this position should be sympathised with and help offered rather than superior judgement cast and you simply tarnish them as a worthless low life.

The issue arises because airport owners continue to exploit human nature for profit, even though it gives rise to instances like this.
Airport owners were quick to realise that delayed passengers are bored passengers, and bored passengers will drink alcohol to pass the time.
Bingo - instant profit from inflated prices, a seller's market, a captive clientele, all they need is to provide basic bar facilities to indulge said passengers, and the money flows in.
Of course the downside, rude drunken violent horrible frightening passengers are not the airports' problem - that lies squarely with the airlines, who have no control over what is poured into their passengers before they get on their planes, and behave accordingly when a mix of alcohol and low air pressure creates that particularly combustible mix of excess alcohol, confinement, boredom, and rank stupidity.
Until the airlines draw a line for the safety of their staff and passengers, the airports will continue to ignore the fall-out from a problem that does not directly affect them.
There is absolutely no need for people to drink alcohol before flying - it should be banned outright.

Likewise ‘duty free’ Andy, we were in Poland and a friend asked us to bring cigarettes back for them, never again, we don’t smoke
Any we bought them at the airport, about a 1000 ( 5 sleeves)
We were pulled over at Newcastle airport and told it was just 200 from there ( May have changed now) they were taken from us, luckily the person who asked for them, paid us, my point being, those in Duty free in Poland knew we were only allowed 200 yet happily sold us a large amount

If you read the story then even when she was bound and fastened to the seat she kicked out and damaged the tv screen in front of her. What a charmer. A six month sentence is not enough as she will be out in three. I would have given her six months for each person she attacked and all to run consecutively not concurrently. Make an example of her and hopefully make others think before they drink. Hope she has been banned from all airlines for quite a while.
AH: "There is absolutely no need for people to drink alcohol before flying - it should be banned outright" - no need of course but why punish the many for few eejits. Part of the process of going away is relaxing at airports etc, you don't get it as a teetotaller of course. The airlines should be stricter at the gate, this woman should not have been allowed on.
//A six month sentence is not enough as she will be out in three.//
She'll actually be out in six weeks. With one or two very rare exceptions, all prisoners serving determinate sentences are automatically released at the half way point. But in addition to this, prisoners who were sentenced to between three months and four years are eligible for release under "Home Detention Curfew". For those serving up to 18 months, HDC is available after one quarter of the sentence has been served.

TTT - // Part of the process of going away is relaxing at airports etc, you don't get it as a teetotaller of course. //
First of all, the notion that I 'don't get it as a teetotaller' is absurd - as is the notion of dignifying getting tipsy as 'relaxing'.
Just because I don't drink alcohol in airports does not mean I am not entitled to a view of people who do - I don't hunt foxes, but I have a view on people who do.
If it's relaxing', then I expect a bar at my dentist - people are far more tense and in need of relaxation there than at an airport!
The point is, alcohol at airports is profit driven, and if you think you can dignify that by calling it 'relaxing', then I suggest that we extend the 'relaxation' system to doctors' waiting rooms, bus queues, cinemas, Christmas shopping - the list gets more fatuous the longer it gets, which rather underlines my point.

Instead of making the responsibility for adults unable to control their own alcohol intake the responsibility of already busy and stretched airline ground crews, why not take away the need for 'strictness' at the gate by stopping people from drinking in the first place?
Drinking alcohol is not a compulsory part of preparation for airline travel - it is motivated entirely by profit, even when safety is at stake.
