"Second, if I walk through with a gun, I'm "non conforming" and I suspect you'd *want* me harrassed, just a bit."
Let's just TRY to keep this in the realm of possibility, okay?
Carrying a gun is a lot different.
"She didn't lose her "rights" to anything."
So, she didn't have a right to enter a contract with another airline?
For a legal service they were providing to other people?
Like I said, you lose your rights one by one.
As for your example of walking on the interstate, I see people walking on the interstate at times. Usually because they've had car problems. But that isn't the point. The point is when someone tells someone ELSE not to provide you with a service.
I can call a cab to go down the interstate. But when the cops tell the cab companies NOT to pick me up, we have a problem.
Do I have a "right" to any particular cab?
No.
Do I have a "right" to enter into a business contract with any particular cab?
Yes.
Her right to enter into a business transaction with another airline were taken.
They were taken when the other airlines were TOLD not to sell her a ticket.
"After the incident, Oden was told she could not take her scheduled flight to Chicago, and that she could not travel on any other airline at the airport that day."
"But what about the *other people*? If I get on an airplane, muttering about killing people, what responsibility does the airline have towards me, regarding the OTHER PASSENGERS?"
Reality check. She was NOT doing this.
"Oh, so *their* rights have to be abridged?"
Reality check. She was NOT doing this.
"Its far more complex than her rights were violated - she was quite happily violating other's rights, as well. "
Ummm, how?
