Travel is a RIGHT. Flying included. Travel by Common Carrier — which all airlines are — is a more protected right.

Some who don’t know this from that say it is not a right. They claim it is a “privilege”. That is incorrect, it is a fundamental right.

Sorry, but you are incorrect, travel is not a right. Rights are those actions that you can conduct on your on without dependance on others. For example, you have the right to speak your mind. You do not have the right to have your opinion published in your local news paper because that is owned by someone else.

While you do have the right to move about this country, you do NOT have the right to demand that your neighbor, a local taxi or some other commercial enterprise transport you.

Freedom of Association includes the freedom FROM association, and should a commercial enterprise decide NOT to carry you, on their private property, then they have the right to refuse you service.

It's been enshrined for hundreds of years in the common law. It amazes me that the government has managed to convert this pre-existing right into a 'privilege' merely by repeating the lie for long enough.
