Woman NOT deathly allergic to anything, can't prove stroy and did not make arrangements ahead of time. Also a college professor and claims to know Islamic studies. I'm ok with the cops, she earned her reward....

    Sorry, for the vague analogy. She did not need to make an issue of the allergy, if she had a means to address it. In essence making the analogy of calling "fire" in a theater to calling "deathly allergic" on a plane.

    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.

    Repeating a tired slogan that doesn't even relate to any side of this controversy does not add value.

    Dont forget that Al Sharpton owes 11 million or so in back taxes and no one ever seems concerned with how he got all that money to be taxed, nor that he doesn't pay it, nor that he tried to scam the govt, but thats ok, he's black, so it all is ok....

    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.

    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).

    You just reminded me dino of Joe the Plumber and how the media went way out of their way to reveal he owed the IRS back taxes and that he did not have a plumber's license.
    Well, Joe wasn't the one running for president when on video he was told by socialist Candidate O is O that "I want to spread the wealth around."

    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.

    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.

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

    I just found it to be an amazing story of arrogance and privilege that these idiots just assume belong to them, because of WHO THEY are. It all points back to the common idea we see in politics, entertainment and even science now, where if you do not worship their particular ways, or presence, they just flip out, then the name calling, the hysterics, sounds like anyone of the protests we see all around us today. A pattern?

    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.
