So let's say we have some people that have a medical condition that causes their obesity. Can this be considered a handicap and can the airlines be sued by not providing them an extra seat to accomodate that handicap? I recall there have been recent fines levied that related to wheelchairs and handicap access. Can the same argument be made for obesity that is related to a medical condition?
