I'm with you on the liberty and freedom part but this isn't the airlines doing, it's the Federal Government.
What the airlines do about it remains to be seen and they better fight this tooth and nail or they won't last long.
I’m hoping the airlines will give campaign contributions to congress critters who will fight this nonsense at the airports.....
So in the end this is just another shakedown from this fascist Government, quite possible or maybe it's a way for the bamster to Nationalize the industry when it goes belly up.
There is a goal here, just what it is hasn't become clear yet.
One thing is for sure, the goal is not security.
You wouldn't know that from listening to our legislators sucking up to Pistole last week. (It's available on cspan.)
