Question for you, PTravel:

How do you know whether or not there are "exigent circumstances"? Parents who are taking their kids to another state to visit grandma in hospital are not likely to announce this to their fellow passengers. Would you ask the parents "what is the purpose of your trip?" or would you just assume that they are on vacation until they say otherwise?
