I absolutely agree that the owner of the plane can set whatever restrictions they deem neccessary. But we are no longer talking about the owner of the plane refusing someone's business. We are talking about government agents throwing innocent people in jail, and charging them with felonies. Hell if we let the plane owners decide, one of them could simply say, no Arab or Muslim men allowed. They would only become the most popular airline in the US, overnight. (with the flying public, not the media)

The government agents are protecting a vulnerable border. Those ports are a national security issue as much as any other port or border crossing. The airlines need to focus on flying airplanes, imho, not in providing the whole security system. If threats are found, they need the power to arrest.

Look, we disagree on whether society can make rules about how we live, and if they do, whether I have to abide by it. It a society governed by laws, I think I do.
