I understand parents want to protect their kids but is it really fair to the rest of the passangers? As for lawsuits, are airlines really liable for your kid's allegies? The airlines are not the ones forcing your kids into an enclosed space, you are. And what if the airlines don't serve peanuts but some passanger decides to bring some onto the plane? Should the airlines still get sued? Should TSA start installing peanut residue scanning machines (in additional to the explosive residue scanning machines) at security check in fear of getting sued? Maybe airlines should just have peanuts and no peanuts (bubbled off) sections on each plane.
