I think you are missing the bigger picture.... The airlines don't make immigration law - nor do they enforce it.... They try their best to comply with the myriad of regulations around the world -- sometimes they do it well, sometimes they don't.... My point was very simple -- it is THEIR airline -- and they make the rules if you can get on the plane -- right or wrong, like it or not -- as travelers we therefore have a choice -- do we follow their rules or not? Right or wrong is not part of the equation -- getting to our destination is -- which is presumably why we bought a ticket.... We can argue right or wrong until pigs fly -- until then those that make the rules hold the position of "gatekeeper" -- sorry if using that particular word caused all this unnecessary banter....
