Flight Cabin Fear: CBS News finds rising, underreported in-flight sexual assaults

CBS News reports FBI data showing more than 170 passenger-on-passenger sexual assaults on flights in 2024, up from about 130 in 2023, but experts say the true number likely undercounts due to inconsistent airline and local reporting; assaults typically occur on long-haul/international trips, often at night with alcohol, prompting calls for better accountability and a push for airlines to report incidents publicly, including a lawsuit against American Airlines.
