49 U.S. Code § 46504 - Interference with flight crew members and attendants
An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States who, by assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the member or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both. However, if a dangerous weapon is used in assaulting or intimidating the member or attendant, the individual shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life.
- schoen 4y agoI think the other statute is somewhat more relevant, because I'm not sure this is "assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant" (as it's more targeted against infrastructure than people!). I agree with the thought that a public address system is a "part" of an aircraft whose reduction in serviceability "is likely to endanger the safety". You might argue that flight crew could be intimidated by the knowledge that their aircraft is behaving unusually, but I don't think that's particular core territory of "assaulting or intimidating".
