Reply #155: This is why public transportation works better anywhere but in the US

Once you get on the plane, it is a federal offense to disobey any crew member instruction, and it has been since before 9/11.

If the stewardess tells you to sing Yankee Doodle Dandy, and you don't sing it, you are going to jail.

"Allow such rules to exist" and "fighting with hourly wage employees at the airport" are two entirely unrelated subjects. There is not going to be a citizen revolt in an airport security line which is going to have any impact on whether rational rules are developed.

You obviously know nothing of my personal history on the subject of fighting against arbitrary rules.
