And don't even think about interfering with a flight crew member. That is a federal crime and will send a person to federal prison. Passengers should try to act like adults.
Well, I certainly wouldn't do it, but what's it going to take before the airlines address the problem? According to the article I posted a link to, they already have the ability to adjust the seat backs to not recline fully. Just do it! Let the recliners and the not-wanting-to-be-reclined-upon compromise.
