I hope they throw the book at her. This kind of behaviour simply cannot be tolerated - we wouldn't allow it in the street and it certainly cannot be allowed on board aircraft. This severely endangers the safety of the aircraft as the crew then have to divert their attentions to dealing with this completely unnecessary situation, meaning that they then cannot comply with their normal required duties. It will also put added pressure on the flight crew, something which is also highly undesired and unnecessary.
The message needs to go out that this behaviour is a severe criminal offence and she should be given a good spell in a nice cell to give her a chance to think about it. This is one incident that I hope does have the journo's writing (fact based please) stories to publicise the punishment that you will get if you behave like this.
I'm off to fume in the bar now
