Time to give full authority to Flight staff that their word is final & anyone who disobeys will be penalized without further scrutiny. Indians are the worst to behave & disobey the flight staff commands when landing & not to open the cabin baggage locker – Indians do not wait at all and immediately open the lockers as soon as the flight hits the tarmac. Travel ban for 6 months or 1 year (domestic & international travel both simultaneous) is desired so that the fliers cannot rejoin their job duties wherever they are.
