Having witnessed a few pub fights and others in confined spaces I truly wonder if this is such a good idea. mssbarrat also makes the really important point that if you are not careful, your weapon gets used against yourself. It doesn't take much to imagine a "bundle" and resulting melee on a aircraft that develops into situation where the taser is required. How does the user get a clear shot? And do the CA's have the assertiveness and training in close combat to use such a device? Inflicting extreme pain on others is not as easy you might imagine, especially for those who normally care for others. Korean might also find that not every male CA is as assertive as they might need in such circumstances. I wish them the very best; it sounds like they will need it as this strategy has not quite been thought through.
