Also, I do not know the CFR's. I looked them up with the numbers people were quoting. They appear to be reasonable. Not knowing all the regulations (or not wanting to follow them) isn't a valid excuse for Lasseter to break them. You keep seeting up straw men. I never said that not knowing the CFR's was a valid excuse for the guy. I simply said that the airport overreacted.
As for the CFR's, they appear reasonable to me as well. The issue is that Sbeck stated that any of us who did not know them was unintelligent and uninformed. Then, when asked which section was relevent, he refused. Then, he said "all of it" when clearly that is bogus. The guy was bluffing, and refusing to acknowledge it.
Bluffing...geez, for a non-aviator you sure sound like a lawyer. Face it Rod, you want McFacts that you can digest very quickly and use as an uninformed sound bite. If you haven't figured it out by now, I've invested a great deal of time learning and appreciating what is my business. Your characterization of the Atlanta reaction as an "over reaction" certainly is in keeping with the standard attention deficit disorder that a good deal of Americans have.
I simply won't give you instant gratification because you don't want to invest the time to learn it yourself.
