A family member of mine has an actual life-threatening allergy. You can be sure that BEFORE he ever gets on a plane, he knows the situation and is either prepared for it (if possible) or doesn't get on the plane. That's what you do when your life is in danger.

And yeah, he has papers, and the epi-pen, and whatever else he needs, to prove it. On his person at all times.

That woman - I am not sure what she was wanting but I don't think it went like she wanted it to.

Suspiciously her name indicates she could be Muslim, and Muslims with strong beliefs hate dogs (although I have known moderate Muslims who love their dogs). Wait until they have to travel with someone with a service pig (they do exist).

She is an idiot end of story except that she has a career in education. Cultural Marxist educator she won't want for a job.

All she had to do is check to see if there were any dogs on her flight. Then, she could have booked a different flight with only minor inconvenience. I think she was as phony as a six dollar bill. She took the dogs as an opportunity to get some notoriety, and look for a lawsuit in the near future.

At least Southwest got real for really real trained cops to remove the lady from that flight.
I notice she isn't bleeding and suddenly in need of dental surgery.

I think about that doctor who was punched and dragged off an airplane. When the dust settled about a day or two later I remember hearing people saying that, "Oh, his medical license had expired" as though that made it ok to break his nose and force him off an airplane. It was a logic rope-a-dope that the addled masses were eager to lap up. I find it funny. Say it with me..."Yeah, they punched him in the face and threw him off the plane but his license had expired." LOL

I don't really know the story behind this lady. Sounds like she was a little off her rocker. So be it. I hope she's ok.

Their are abusers and frauds among both those who claim disabilities such as this passenger did, and those who have "service animals." We used to have stable, sensible, predictable rules on this topic. Then the feds stepped in with both the un-called-for ADA and the un-called-for "service animal" act, promising both sides that they'd always win. This crap is the result.

At least I can still drive without having to clear my cargo with anyone else.

It could have been worse. She could have faked a peanut allergy.

More Yahoo upchucking.

Calling "fire' in a crowded theater is not freedom.
