So is this the new preboard loophole for those who don't care about getting peanuts?
One can only guess how many lawyers were involved in drafting that verbiage. Perhaps based on prior claims? At least they didn't go so far to say...
if you require pre-board due to peanut allergy you will be required to produce an epi pen (or similar treatment) to prove you are covered in the event of an attack.
OP please don't take my retort the wrong way, I'm not picking on those with peanut allergies, I know it's a serious issue. IMHO the language simply speaks to the litigious society that the U.S. has become on all levels of 'it's not my fault.'
