Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
A bare foot on another passenger’s armrest can cross a basic boundary of shared-space etiquette, especially if its owner ignores requests to move it. Supporters may see Decker’s reaction as a humorous way to express discomfort and draw attention to behaviour that affects nearby travellers.
The case against
Spraying someone’s foot without first asking them to move it could be seen as needlessly confrontational and disrespectful, particularly when the owner’s identity and circumstances are unknown. A calm request or help from cabin crew would give the passenger a chance to respond while avoiding public humiliation.
