It is true that there are some rare people that will die when there is a trace amount of peanut exposure. My nephew's classmate is the same. One day one mom forgot and fed her kid PB&J for breakfast. The peanut residue left on the kid caused my nephew to stop breathing and required his Epi-pen to be used and 911. He ended up in the ICU for 3 days to stabilize him.
So it's tough and certainly a disability. Now for a plane not to served nuts on one flight surely doesn't really affect any passengers at all, just annoying. However for some, it's totally life threatening.
It's great to see how many insensitive selfish people there are here on FT.
