That's not the problem. Minneapolis grants less than 400 cab licenses to begin with. In addition to this, there are other requirements and regulations (placed by the Metro Airports Council) that must followed in order to work at the airport. If there are no rules governing this sort of thing, what's the point in even having licensing at all, other than a protection racket?

I wonder what these cabbies do if they pick someone up at a grocery store who may have bought a six pack?
