46,000 people were removed from planes last year and not 1 politician gave a shit. Now they want to ban it? God I hate these stupid Illinois politicians.
Stupid politicians and stupid pax. When the cops tell you to get off the plane, you're gonna GET OFF THE PLANE! cops drag people out of cars and off property every hour of the day when they fail to comply.
UA's contract of carridage clearly states they can do that. it wasnt even a ua employee who harassed the man! it was a cop. so stop screwing UA!
The great state of Illinois would do well to police their politicians instead of the airline industry.
More laws, that will solve everything! Try not to get shot there though, all those gun laws are working well.

1. Government employees (this includes local police) won't haul someone off.
2. No criminal or civil charges can be brought against the passenger.
3. Illinois will not do business with carriers who allow such behavior. (As I read that, Illinois Government will have to divest any holdings in such companies - the retirement system should love that one).
Why the grandstanding? It's not an election year.
