I would rather sit on a plane next to a well-behaved youngster than a cretinous DYKWIA or booze-addled adult.
The adults who act like children should be banned as well..... I agree that the focus against children is a bit misguided. It is the PARENT'S responsibility to control them. Lucky for us, it's the people you describe as being borish who are also the parents!!!! So we are in a catch 22 here. Since the parents won't do their duty, the best option is to set an age limit. Keeping the kids out may help to keep their older counterparts out as well....
. Well we could always hope anyways...
