Flying the "Unfriendly Skies"
It’s time to admit that airline deregulation has failed passengers, workers—and economic efficiency.

They could start with security. I visited the Capitol building recently and passing through security was so much more pleasant than the same necessary screening at Reagan National later in the afternoon. I did not see any of the nonsense seen in airport terminals inside the Rotunda. People were respectful of the rules of decorum and each other.

He was noted for doing what he did as is normal for many doctors who feel they are entitled and above anyone else. Much like some teachers in the US think they are.
Had he just complied rather than rant it cost those officers dearly for no reason.
