Think twice before complaining on your next Korean Air flight - flight crew can now use Tasers to deal with mid-air disturbances. The airline has made the decision to loosen its Taser usage policy after a violent incident on a flight last week resulted in 80s pop star Richard Marx having to subdue an unruly passenger.

On-board crew already have had Tasers on hand for years but could only use them when lives or the physical safety of passengers and cabin crew was threatened. But new rules will allow for "more active use" of Tasers, a Korean Air spokesperson told CNN.

    Some sucking MRA looser male guy used tech.

    Who gives a shit.

    He's opposed to women taking male children as boytoys. Should be promoted, modded up, and given the opportunity to spank the MikeeUSA, except that he would enjoy it too much. Only cure for Mikee, make him marry a real woman, one 20 years older than him, to teach him how to behave. Or, we cut off his johnson, Lebowski!!
