My vote:
Ban UMs.
Ban kids in business and first.
(and while we're at it, ban any luggage from being taken on board that the passenger can't lift!)

Seriously, though, I was SLF on a flight last night, which was due to be mostly empty and then became mostly full owing to a girls soccer team on their way from Denver to California. I was window over the wing and got two 12 year olds next to me. I helped two of them with their luggage in an effort to help get the flight out on time. No doubt I have been branded a "molesterer" (if any of you saw that recent South Park episode)
Now these girls weren't unaccompanied, but the two or three adults travelling with them made no attempt whatsoever to keep them under control of any sort. It was without doubt one of the most unruly flights I've had the misfortune of being on. Thankfully I slept through much of it - until one of the girls presumably fell out with another and lobbed a glass of water all over her, most of which ended up on me!

Am I making a point? Not really. Just need to vent.
