I am sorry you think I have no idea what I am talking about.

But if you thought about it some more, you might realize that "fining" is the same thing as making the airlines honor the tickets.

Just like the Federal gov't can't make states adopt a 21 drinking age. But they can take away all their Federal highway funds if they don't. Same thing. No?
