The right to do something doesn't mean the person acting is free from consequences.

Nevertheless, it's a falsehood to believe that a ticket is somehow a guarantee of a "right" to fly. It's just a commercial transaction which the airline can void at its discretion.
Well, yeah. Given your explanation, I guess you could make the argument that the airline can take somebody off the plane for any reason they want, as long as they are willing to accept the consequences. But, taking that argument to the extreme, I could argue that I am free to shoot anybody I please as long as I am willing to deal with the consequences.
