Airline Passengers' Bill Of Rights Overturned
You just can't make this sh*t up. Turns out airlines can keep you imprisoned without food, water, fresh air or clean toilets. Cripes, you thought Gitmo was bad...
Let me just make it clear: if this ever happens to me, you are probably going to see me on CNN, because I don't have the self-control to put up with such bullsh*t.

Well, the decision on the grounds that this is a federal [FAA] issue and not an issue for the states.
The Constitution's commerce clause is often abused by the Court, making everything a federal issue under interstate commerce, but in this case, it seems legit.
If Congress passed a federal law to the same effect, there would [to my best understanding] be no legitimate grounds for challenge.
Perhaps a nice uncontroversial microissue for Sen. Obama to take up when he returns to the Senate in November.
