Why is society being dragged into this?

If a company or organization has rules in place, shouldn't they act if the rules are broken? That seems to be what the FAA is doing.

Many companies, mine included, have zero-tolerance policies in place. When someone crosses the line on one of these issues, they're gone. I've had to deal with this reality, standing by helpless as people lost their jobs.

I'm sure the guidelines for an air-traffic controller are more strict than for me.

I just think it's unfortunate that society is IMO far too what-if driven and overreacts to situations like this. You and NH seem to be driven by what-if, in this case, the absence of such condoning the behavior. I'm saying that what-if has nothing to do with it.
