Unfortunately for 2022, sexual harassment is just as disgusting as it's always been, but it's far less surprising when it happens.
But a man attempting to digitally flash all of his fellow flight passengers still should give people pause.
A woman named Mackenzie, or @DaddyStrange333 on TikTok, had a video quickly go viral when she called out a man on her flight who had attempted to send explicit photos of himself to all of the passengers via Airdrop request.
It all started when Mackenzie received an Airdrop request from an unknown contact, and when she saw the nature of the request, she began looking around the plane for who sent it to her.
With just one other passenger and an aisle in-between them, Mackenzie noticed the man holding his iPad and looking at the same photo she had just received.
She was able to deduce he wasn't just another victim on the flight receiving an Airdrop request, but rather was the one sending it.
As a flight attendant passed by, the TikToker caught her attention and explained the man across the aisle was sending sexually explicit photos to other passengers.
She told the flight attendant:
"This man is airdropping everybody inappropriate photos."
The flight attendant turned to the man and asked:
"Why are you doing that?"
The man simply responded:
"I don’t know. Just having a little fun."
In her first video about the incident, Mackenzie identified the man as Lawrence Martin, though she later refers to him simply as "Larry."
She captioned the video:
"Lawrence Martin from Texas, grossssssss."
"I saw his iPad had Airdrop open, so I knew it was him, and yes, I sure did make a scene."
In a second video, Mackenzie confirmed that Larry was arrested, but she also pointed out that minors on the flight were impacted by the incident, as well.
Not only were there several teenage and pre-teenage minors seated near Larry, possibly able to see the explicit content on others' devices and certainly able to hear the altercation as it happened.
But there was one young boy who was sent an Airdrop request that his father fortunately declined.
"There was a child who was sent the photo but didn't approve the Airdrop."
"His dad was ready to fight.
Some were shocked that the man's actions were intentional.

Others were disgusted and wondered what else the man was willing to do.

Some were furious on the minors' behalf who were also on the flight.

Based on the TikToker's videos, "Larry" was arrested by the police upon arrival at the flight's destination, but it's unclear if his behavior, iPad, or other possessions were further investigated for unsafe activities.
The TikToker said they hoped to receive updates from the FBI on the situation, but just like fellow TikTokers hoping the algorithm would bring them back for updates, she was likely hoping for further developments in their investigation to bring her back, as well.
