Don’t get drunk on a plane. Don’t get unruly while being drunk on a plane. Don’t get physical while getting unruly while being drunk on a plane. And don’t, under any circumstances whatsoever, slap a Federal Air Marshal while getting unruly while being drunk on a plane.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A US Airways passenger faced charges of interfering with a flight crew Thursday after he apparently unknowingly slapped an undercover federal air marshal, said an official familiar with the case.

The man, who'd been drinking liquor, threw a mid-air temper tantrum Wednesday night after attendants refused to serve him any more alcohol during his flight from Washington's Reagan National Airport and Fort Myers, Florida, the official said.

The passenger then slapped a fellow passenger, who happened to be an undercover air marshal assigned to the flight, said the official.

"He had a bad night last night," said the official, who asked to remain anonymous and isn't authorized to reveal specifics of the case. The passenger is expected to be arraigned Thursday.

The air marshal detained the man for the remainder of the flight and arrested him after the aircraft arrived in Fort Myers. The man is expected to be charged with interfering with a flight crew.

He's lucky he didn't get his ass kicked by people on the plane. I could definetely imagine some people freaking out when they saw some guy acting like that on a plane and just taking the guy down.

I guess it just wasn't his day if the one guy he happens to slap turns out to be the air marshall. ;-7

I enjoy having a couple drinks on a plane but I can't imagine getting so schlitzed that I'd forget what the consequences of being unruly would be.
