A Redditor named u/bbowell77 posted a clip of a woman having a meltdown at an airport on r/PublicFreakoutDads, where it went viral as people expressed their credulity over her behavior and concern for her kids.

“Dad’s friend sent him this from work,” they wrote in the title. “Evidently she was on the no fly list. This is just insane. I feel so bad for the kid’s though.”

The video begins with the woman arguing with the employee at the counter, who says, “You’re not flying with Frontier.”
The woman says she needs the ticket the next day and is denied again. Moments later, her daughter cries out for her, seemingly aware of what’s coming. Her mom tells her to be quiet, then goes behind the counter and starts wigging out on everybody, throwing keyboards and waving around packages.
At one point she shouts, “Don’t f-ck with me.”
As she rampages, her kids follow her around, the younger one crying, the other silently observing the scene.
Commenters on Reddit were sadly able to identify with the family situation, which is so dangerous and traumatizing for young people:

It’s unclear what airport this took place at, but a security guard does eventually arrive. It’s not confirmed if the woman really is on the no-fly list, but if this is her usual reaction to setbacks, it wouldn’t be too surprising. The Transportation Security Administration keeps a screening database that is supposed to weed out terrorists, but it usually just another way to racially profile people.
Some folks do get put on for just being a horrible nuisance who shouldn’t be on a plane with anyone, and a few have recently made it onto the list by refusing to wear masks. I’m guessing that if this lady is on the no-fly list it has something to do with hitting someone else with an inanimate object while on a plane.
