Currently there's no such thing as a "fake" ESA.
Ok. Replace "fake" with "untrained" or "actually-just-a-pet".
Same end meaning - ESAs who are adequately trained to behave/react properly in a unusual situations will get certified. Other animals who are not trained as such will be unable to pass the tests that result in such certifications. And the cost/effort involved with such certifications will go a long way to deterring people from obtaining them unless there is a significant and legitimate need.

Of course I could have missed it, but one would think this would be big news.
The article linked in this very thread was from FOX 5, and I saw it on last night's 10pm local news.
If DL or any other airline had the type of control over news networks that you're suggesting, do you really think they'd allow the tidal wave of airline-bashing that's been going on lately?
